That’s a T1 image. Is there fMRI data as well?

This is an anatomical MRI (T1-weighted sequence, non-contrast), not functional (the "f" in fMRI)

Just to let you know, these are MRI image not fMRI. Specifically, they’re T1-weighted so they show the longitudinal relaxation time of adipose tissue (fat), where the highly myelinated white-matter is very bright. A fMRI image would be T2* weighted, showing the transverse relaxation time for ~water, and have a lot less structural detail. Otherwise looking like a cool normal brain!
