Source Data: Pavlovian Bias Responses to TUS in 29 Healthy Participants

A dataset from a study of 29 healthy participants investigating the neural origins of Pavlovian biases using transcranial ultrasonic stimulation (TUS). The within-subject, counter-balanced design included three sessions (sham, TUS-dACC, TUS-aIns) to test the causal role of the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and anterior insula. Computational modeling results from the study are included, showing distinct regional roles in learning and perseveration biases.

Use Cases

• Modeling the effects of brain stimulation on decision-making biases based on the described Pavlovian mechanisms
• Analyzing the functional differentiation between the dACC and aIns in cognitive control based on the TUS interference results
• Investigating the relationship between neural activity and behavioral perseveration based on the reported computational modeling outcomes

Strengths

• Data originates from a controlled within-subject experimental design with 29 participants
• Includes results from computational modeling of three distinct Pavlovian bias mechanisms
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The dataset is very small at 18.9 KB, indicating limited scope
