8. Seven healthy, right-handed human subjects were studied using a Siemens-Trio 3.0 Tesla imaging system using a birdcage radio-frequency head coil. Blood oxygenation level-dependent single-shot echo-planar T2-weighted imaging was obtained using scan repeat time of 3000 ms, echo time of 30 ms, flip angle 90°, and field 256 mm. The data were preprocessed using the package FSL (http://www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl). All procedures employed were approved by Northwestern University Institutional Review Board.
