Pre-stats


Analysis methods
FMRI data processing was carried out using FEAT (FMRI Expert Analysis Tool) Version 5.98, part of FSL (FMRIB's Software Library, www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl). The following pre-statistics processing was applied; motion correction using MCFLIRT [Jenkinson 2002]; non-brain removal using BET [Smith 2002]; spatial smoothing using a Gaussian kernel of FWHM 8.0mm; grand-mean intensity normalisation of the entire 4D dataset by a single multiplicative factor; highpass temporal filtering (Gaussian-weighted least-squares straight line fitting, with sigma=50.0s); Gaussian lowpass temporal filtering HWHM 2.8s.
