Scans were acquired at the IIT laboratory in Rovereto (Italy) on a 7.0 Tesla MRI scanner (Bruker Biospin, Ettlingen) with a BGA-9 gradient set, a 72 mm birdcage transmit coil, and a four-channel solenoid receive coil. Awake scans used a single-shot echo planar imaging (EPI) sequence with the following parameters: TR/TE=1000/15 ms, flip angle=60°, matrix=100 x 100, FOV=2.3 x 2.3 cm, 18 coronal slices (voxel-size 230 x 230 x 600 µm), slice thickness=600 µm and 1920 time points, for a total time of 32 minutes.

It is suggested to remove the first 120 scans (2 minutes) to account for thermal gradient equilibration.
