Description
This protocol was used in a brain stimulation study where transcranial ultrasound stimulation was applied to the lateral geniculate nucleus and brain fMRI data was acquired during stimulation (online sessions) or before and after stimulation (offline sessions). The experimental design is described in more detail in the preprint "Ultrasound system for precise neuromodulation of human deep brain circuits" here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.06.08.597305v1. Specifically, this protocol was used in the offline sessions to acquire fMRI data before and after stimulation.

Description
Resting state fMRI scan acquired with a T2*-weighted 2D multiband EPI sequence.
Participants were asked to fixate on a white cross presented on a black screen, to blink normally, and to try not to fall asleep.
