Naturalistic stimuli evoke strong, consistent, and information-rich patterns of brain activity, and engage large extents of the human brain. They allow researchers to compare highly similar brain responses across subjects, and to study how complex representations are encoded in brain activity. Here, we describe and share a dataset where 25 subjects watched part of the feature film "The Grand Budapest Hotel" by Wes Anderson. The movie has a large cast with many famous actors. Throughout the story, the camera shots highlight faces and expressions, which are fundamental to understand the complex narrative of the movie. This movie was chosen to sample brain activity specifically related to social interactions and face processing. This dataset provides researchers with fMRI data that can be used to explore social cognitive processes and face processing, adding to the existing neuroimaging datasets that sample brain activity with naturalistic movies.
自然刺激会引发强烈、一致且信息丰富的大脑活动模式，并涉及到大脑的很大一部分。它们允许研究人员在不同受试者之间比较高度相似的大脑反应，并研究复杂的代表是如何在大脑活动中编码的。在这里，我们描述并分享了一个数据集，其中 25 名受试者观看了韦斯·安德森（Wes Anderson）的电影《布达佩斯大饭店》（The Grand Budapest Hotel）的一部分。这部电影有一个由许多著名演员组成的庞大演员阵容。在整个故事中，镜头拍摄了突出的面部和表情，这是理解电影复杂叙事的基础。选择这部电影是为了专门采样与社交互动和面部处理相关的大脑活动。这个数据集为研究人员提供了 fMRI 数据，可用于探索社会认知过程和面部处理，为现有的使用自然主义电影采样大脑活动的神经影像学数据集增添了新的内容。
