This dataset contains a single session per participant (N=5) when they read chapter 9 from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. The text was presented word by word, at a 2Hz pace (each word presented for .5s). This chapter was split over 7 runs of approximate equal length (10 mns). The stimuli used in this dataset are taken from the experiment reported by Wehbe et al. (2014) for which a separate fMRI dataset (N=9) has been collected and shared.
