Stroop task

Participants performed the color-word version of the Stroop task with three conditions (congruent, incongruent, and neutral) while in the MR scanner. Participants were instructed to ignore the meaning of the printed word and respond to the ink color in which the word was printed. Each condition was meant to elicit a certain level of attentional demand. Participants responded to ink color by pressing button under the index, middle, and ringe fingers on their right hand. One button for each color (red, green, and blue) on an MR-safe response box. Task begins with a 1,000ms fixation cross followed by the stroop stimulus for 2,000ms. The interstimulus interval between successive trial starts was sampled from an exponential distribution, between 3 and 20 s with a mean of 4 s and a median of 3 s, in order to ensure accurate deconvolution of the hemodynamic response. Conditions were pseudorandomized in an event related fashion. 120 trials were presented to each participant. Stimuli were back projected on a screen located at the back of the MR bore with an MR safe projector. Participants used a mirror attached at the top of the head coil to view. This study using response time as a behavioral variable.
