Seed based phase synchronization data

The aim of this research was to investigate how fear predicts the phase synchronization of regions within the brain, and how fear affects the synchronization of functional connectivity between individuals. Participants viewed one of two horror movies in the fMRI scanner (The Conjuring 2 or Insidious). A separate sample of participants viewed the movies and provided continuous measures of experience fear. Seed-based phase synchronization (SBPS): The phase synchronization between each of 116 region pairs of the AAL atlas was computed and correlated with the fear ratings. The result matrix of the correlation coefficients reveal the extent to which fear predicts phase synchronization between regions. Inter-subject phase synchronization (ISBPS): The phase synchronization of the SBPS was conducted between individuals and correlated with the fear ratings. The result matrix of the correlation coefficients reveal the extent to which fear predicts between-individual synchronization of regional phase synchronization.
