Subject	Neuroscience: Cognitive
Specific subject area	Naturalistic memory encoding and recall
Type of data	Brain images in the NIFTI format and text files containing transcribed verbal responses
How the data were acquired	Brain images were acquired using a 3T Siemens Prisma MRI scanner with a 64-channel head/neck coil. Verbal responses were audio recorded using an MR-compatible recording system (FOMRI II; Optoacoustics Ltd.) and then manually transcribed.
Data format	Raw
Description of data collection	Twenty human participants participated in an fMRI experiment. Participants watched ten short movies and then verbally recounted what they remembered about the movies in their own words.
