summary design • 2 runs, each 10 trials of each task (Imagine, Estimate, Count) • 28.5s * 30 trials = 855s (14.25min); 855s * 2 runs = 1710s (28.5 min) • Instructions + practicing: ca. 60 min • Debriefing: • Consideration of future consequences scale (Strathman et al., 1994) • Vividness of visual imagery questionnaire (Marks, 1973) • Given the money that you will probably have at those time points, how much will £ 25 be worth to you [now; 30;90;180;360]? • functional sequence: • 64 x 64; 3.5 x 3.5 mm pixels; 33 axial slices (3.5 mm thick, oriented to the AC-PC plane) • TR: 2.5 s; TE: 40 ms; • structural sequence: MPRAGE? • field maps
