This project is an open invitation to anyone and everyone to participate in a decentralized effort to explore the opportunities of open science in neuroimaging. We aim to document how much (scientific) value can be generated from a data release — from the publication of scientific findings derived from this dataset, algorithms and methods evaluated on this dataset, and/or extensions of this dataset by acquisition and incorporation of new data. The project involves the processing of acoustic stimuli. In this study, the scientists have demonstrated an audiodescription of classic "Forrest Gump" to subjects, while researchers using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have captured the brain activity of test candidates in the processing of language, music, emotions, memories and pictorial representations.In collaboration with various labs in Magdeburg we acquired and published what is probably the most comprehensive sample of brain activation patterns of natural language processing. Volunteers listened to a two-hour audio movie version of the Hollywood feature film "Forrest Gump" in a 7T MRI scanner. High-resolution brain activation patterns and physiological measurements were recorded continuously. These data have been placed into the public domain, and are freely available to the scientific community and the general public.

本计划向所有人士发出开放邀请，共同参与一项去中心化的探索活动，旨在挖掘开放科学在神经影像学领域的潜力。我们旨在记录从数据发布中可产生多少（科学）价值——包括由此数据集衍生出的科学发现、在此数据集上评估的算法和方法，以及通过收集和整合新数据对该数据集的扩展。该项目涉及声学刺激的处理。在本研究中，科学家向受试者展示了经典电影《阿甘正传》的音频描述，同时，使用功能性磁共振成像（fMRI）技术的研究人员捕捉了测试候选者在处理语言、音乐、情感、记忆和图像表征过程中的脑部活动。与马格德堡的多个实验室合作，我们获取并发布了可能是最全面的自然语言处理脑激活模式样本。志愿者在7T MRI扫描仪中收听了一部两小时的好莱坞电影《阿甘正传》的音频版本。连续记录了高分辨率脑激活模式和生理测量数据。这些数据已进入公共领域，并对科学界和公众免费开放。
