brain

 Functional magnetic resonance imaging measurements for a human
brain subject to a particular experimental stimulus. One slice of the image is
provided, described as a near-axial slice through the dorsal cerebral cortex.

brain function

A data frame with 5 columns and 1567 rows. Each row refers to one `voxel' of
the image. The columns are:
<ul>
<li>X voxel position on horizontal axis.
</li>
<li>Y voxel position on vertical axis.
</li>
<li>medFPQ median of three replicate `Fundamental 
Power Quotient' values at the voxel: this is the main measurement of brain 
activivity.
</li>
<li>regioncode indicating which of several regions of the brain the voxel
belongs to. The regions are defined by the experimenters. <code>0</code> is the base
region; <code>1</code> is the
region of interest; <code>2</code> is the region activated by the experimental 
stimulus; <code>NA</code> denotes a voxel with no allocation.
</li>
<li>meanThetamean phase shift at the Voxel, over three measurments.
</li>
</ul>
