FIGURE 2.
The typical BOLD time course for the contrast adaptation experiment (data from one representative selected voxel). (A) The BOLD time course for a single run. The green vertical line indicates the appearance of adaptation stimulus. All other colored vertical lines indicate the beginning of each trial, and the colors of vertical lines indicate the contrast level and duration of test stimuli. The time course displays positive and negative deflections following the contrast level increments and decrements in most trials. A low-pass filter (low-pass frequency = 0.2 Hz) was applied to the original time course for a clearer demonstration. (B) The averaged BOLD responses under each condition for all trials within three runs. The BOLD responses increased or decreased immediately after the contrast level increments or decrements, respectively. The colors of BOLD responses indicate the contrast level and duration of test stimuli.
