nilearn.datasets.fetch_localizer_contrasts¶

nilearn.datasets.fetch_localizer_contrasts(contrasts, n_subjects=None, get_tmaps=False, get_masks=False, get_anats=False, data_dir=None, resume=True, verbose=1, legacy_format=False)[source]¶

Download and load Brainomics/Localizer dataset (94 subjects).

“The Functional Localizer is a simple and fast acquisition procedure based on a 5-minute functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) sequence that can be run as easily and as systematically as an anatomical scan. This protocol captures the cerebral bases of auditory and visual perception, motor actions, reading, language comprehension and mental calculation at an individual level. Individual functional maps are reliable and quite precise. The procedure is described in more detail on the Functional Localizer page.” (see https://osf.io/vhtf6/)

n_subjectsint or list, optional

The number or list of subjects to load. If None is given, all 94 subjects are used.

get_tmapsboolean, default=False

Whether t maps should be fetched or not.

get_masksboolean, default=False

Whether individual masks should be fetched or not.

get_anatsboolean, default=False

Whether individual structural images should be fetched or not.

data_dirpathlib.Path or str, optional

Path where data should be downloaded. By default, files are downloaded in a nilearn_data folder in the home directory of the user. See also nilearn.datasets.utils.get_data_dirs.

resumebool, default=True

Whether to resume download of a partly-downloaded file.

verboseint, default=1

Verbosity level (0 means no message).

legacy_formatbool, default=True

If set to True, the fetcher will return recarrays. Otherwise, it will return pandas dataframes.

Returns:
