3t magnetom trio mri scanner
The 3T Magnetom Trio MRI scanner is a magnetic resonance imaging system designed and manufactured by Siemens. It operates at a field strength of 3 Tesla, providing high-quality imaging capabilities. The core function of the Magnetom Trio is to generate detailed, high-resolution images of the human body for medical diagnostic purposes.

Multimodal Neuroimaging of Brain Activity
At the beginning of each recording run and after every six trials, the eye tracker was calibrated using EyeLink’s 13-point calibration method (SR Research Ltd., 2009 ). If the average deviation was above 0.5° or the maximum deviation at one of the calibration points was higher than 2°, the calibration was repeated.
A structural MR scan was performed with a MAGNETOM Trio 3T MRI scanner from Siemens (Munich, Germany) using MPRAGE (Mugler and Brookeman, 1990 (link)). The MR scan was used for the localization of the sources in the brain that gave rise to the signal recorded at the MEG sensors.
Retinotopic Mapping of Visual Cortex Using fMRI
Visual stimulation was done on a white screen viewed via a mirror. The stimulus itself was a ring stimulus with a checkerboard pattern at an eccentricity of 2 degrees, flickering every 250 ms. This was presented for 4 s, before being removed for 16.5 s. This cycle was repeated 8 times per run, giving a 3 min run, and 18-25 runs were collected per subject. Retinotopic maps were also obtained to ensure accurate mapping of the activity onto the cortex; this was done using a rotating bowtie stimulus, as in Schira et al. (2009) , for 2 runs of 6 min each.
Multimodal MRI Acquisition Protocol
A DTI SE-EPI (diffusion weighted single shot spin-echo echoplanar imaging) sequence ([TR] = 8000 ms, [TE] = 91 ms, voxel size = 2.2 × 2.2 × 2.2 mm3, slice thickness = 2.2 mm, [FOV] = 212 × 212 mm2, 60 contiguous sagittal slices covering the entire brain and brainstem) was acquired. A diffusion gradient was applied along 64 noncollinear directions with a b-value of 1000 s/mm2. Additionally, one set of images with no diffusion weighting (b = 0 s/mm2) was acquired.
Moreover, a high resolution T1-weighted image was acquired for anatomical detail using a 3D magnetization prepared rapid acquisition gradient echo (MPRAGE; repetition time [TR] = 2300 ms, echo time [TE] = 2.98 ms, voxel size = 1 × 1 × 1.1 mm3, slice thickness = 1.1 mm, field of view [FOV] = 256 × 240 mm2, 160 contiguous sagittal slices). These structural MRI scans were examined by an expert neuro-radiologist as described previously (see

Multimodal MRI Acquisition and Preprocessing Protocol
We excluded subjects with head motion exceeding the criteria (translation >2.0 mm and rotation >2.0°), and data were preprocessed using CONN toolbox version 19c (www.nitrc. org/projects/conn) implemented in MATLAB version 2020a [26 (link)]. The images were realigned and unwarped for motion estimation and were processed by slice-timing correction. Then, outliers were detected through ART-based scrubbing. Then, the images were coregistered using structural and functional images, segmented on structural images and normalized to Montreal Neurology Institute (MNI) space. Finally, the images were smoothed with a 6 mm full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) Gaussian kernel.

Functional MRI Analysis of Decision-Making Processes
Preprocessing and Generalized Linear Model. EPI images were 1) aligned to the first image in each time session, 2) corrected for slice acquisition timing; then the mean functional image was co-registered to the individual anatomical volume. The co-registered images were not normalized or smoothed.
A general linear model was then applied to the resulting voxel-level time-series in each block. The regressors of this analysis were generated through convolving the time-series impulse function for each of the 24 task states (6 decisions across 4 sequences) as well as motion parameters and global signal, with a canonical hemodynamic response function.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
