Natural Short Clips 3T fMRI Data
BOLD fMRI responses from 5 human subjects viewing natural short video clips across 3 sessions over 3 separate days for each subject. If you publish work that uses these data please cite the following paper: Popham, S. F., Huth, A. G., Bilenko, N. Y., Deniz, F., Gao, J. S., Nunez-Elizalde, A. O., & Gallant, J. L. (2021). Visual and linguistic semantic representations are aligned at the border of human visual cortex. Nature Neuroscience, 24(11), 1628-1636.
Naturalistic fMRI Data (vim-4)
Whole-brain BOLD fMRI responses from human subjects performing a visual attention task and a video game task in naturalistic experimental conditions. If you publish work that uses these data please cite the following paper: Zhang, T., Gao, J. S., Çukur, T., & Gallant, J. L. (2021). Voxel-based state space modeling recovers task-related cognitive states in naturalistic fmri experiments. Frontiers in neuroscience, 14, 565976.
Semantic Listening vs Reading fMRI Data
BOLD fMRI responses from human subjects during listening and reading tasks, demonstrating modality-invariant semantic information representation across cerebral cortex. If you publish work that uses these data please cite the following paper: Deniz, F., Nunez-Elizalde, A. O., Huth, A. G., & Gallant, J. L. (2019). The representation of semantic information across human cerebral cortex during listening versus reading is invariant to stimulus modality. Journal of Neuroscience, 39(39), 7722-7736.
Story Listening fMRI Data
BOLD fMRI responses from human subjects listening to natural narrative stories, used to map semantic representations and create detailed semantic atlases of language processing across the human cerebral cortex.
