IMPORTANT: Events are provided as stick regressors and exclude the first 12 volumes to reach BOLD equilibrium.
Please make sure to discard the first 12 volumes during any analysis to correctly index the event timing.
The experiment was structured as follows:
Subjects performed a dynamic visual attention task (multi-attribute Task; MAT), and had to sample up to four visual features in a joint display for subsequent recall.
Prior to stimulus presentation, subjects were validly cued to potential target probes.
The number and identity of cues was varied to modulate the level of expected target uncertainty – and thus the contextually required encoding dimensions.
Subjects performed 4 runs of 8 blocks each; each block contained 8 sequences of 8 trials with identical state cueing.
Each trial was structured as follows:
Cue onset during which the relevant targets were centrally presented (1s), fixation phase (2s), dynamic stimulus phase (3s), probe phase (incl. response; 2s); ITI (un-jittered; 1.5s).
At the onset of each block, the relevant attentional target set was presented for 5 s.
At the offset of each block, subjects received sham feedback for 3s.

General Comments
The original analyses did not yet rely on BIDS input.
Discrepancies between filenames and data organization in the analysis code base and this directory are expected.
For reproducibility, see the datasets used for analysis.
Known Issues
- 1126: no REST, no T2w
- 1172: bad T1w quality due to partial coil disconnect
- 1125, 1213 and 1214 were dropped as pilot subjects (no 1st EEG session or demographics)
- 2142, 2253, 2254, 2255: pilots
- 2131, 2237: runs 3 and 4 missing
2132: final volumes missing
EyeTracking data and EEG rest are not yet included in this BIDS structure.

DataLad datasets and how to use them
This repository is a DataLad dataset. It provides
fine-grained data access down to the level of individual files, and allows for
tracking future updates. In order to use this repository for data retrieval,
DataLad is required. It is a free and
open source command line tool, available for all major operating
systems, and builds up on Git and git-annex
to allow sharing, synchronizing, and version controlling collections of
large files. You can find information on how to install DataLad at
handbook.datalad.org/en/latest/intro/installation.html.
Get the dataset
A DataLad dataset can be cloned by running
datalad clone <url>
Once a dataset is cloned, it is a light-weight directory on your local machine.
At this point, it contains only small metadata and information on the
identity of the files in the dataset, but not actual content of the
(sometimes large) data files.
Retrieve dataset content
After cloning a dataset, you can retrieve file contents by running
datalad get <path/to/directory/or/file>`
This command will trigger a download of the files, directories, or
subdatasets you have specified.
DataLad datasets can contain other datasets, so called subdatasets.
If you clone the top-level dataset, subdatasets do not yet contain
metadata and information on the identity of files, but appear to be
empty directories. In order to retrieve file availability metadata in
subdatasets, run
datalad get -n <path/to/subdataset>
Afterwards, you can browse the retrieved metadata to find out about
subdataset contents, and retrieve individual files with datalad get.
If you use datalad get <path/to/subdataset>, all contents of the
subdataset will be downloaded at once.
Stay up-to-date
DataLad datasets can be updated. The command datalad update will
fetch updates and store them on a different branch (by default
remotes/origin/master). Running
datalad update --merge
will pull available updates and integrate them in one go.
Find out what has been done
DataLad datasets contain their history in the git log.
By running git log (or a tool that displays Git history) in the dataset or on
specific files, you can find out what has been done to the dataset or to individual files
by whom, and when.
More information
More information on DataLad and how to use it can be found in the DataLad Handbook at
handbook.datalad.org. The chapter
"DataLad datasets" can help you to familiarize yourself with the concept of a dataset.
