fMRI during the Prosocial Cyberball Game

The fMRI - Prosocial Cyberball Game measures brain activity during the Prosocial Cyberball Game where a child has the opportunity to help a socially-excluded child in a ball throwing game. Functional runs of the PCG were acquired using a T2*-weighted echo-planar imaging (EPI). The first two (dummy) volumes were discarded to allow for equilibration of T1 saturation effects. The PCG consisted of 2 runs in total. The number of volumes was dependent on the reaction time of the participant, with a maximum of 175 volumes. On average, 136 volumes (4.99 min) were acquired for each PCG run. Volumes covered the whole brain with a field of view (FOV) = 220 (anterior–posterior [ap]) × 220 (right–left [rl]) × 111.65 (foot–head [fh]) mm; repetition time (TR) of 2.2 s; echo time (TE) = 30 ms; flip angle (FA) = 80°; sequential acquisition, 37 slices; and voxel size = 2.75 × 2.75 × 2.75 mm.
