The neural correlation between language control and cognitive control in bilinguals remains an area ripe for further exploration. In this work, we present a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) dataset that simultaneously examines both types of control in 77 healthy, unrelated Chinese-English bilinguals. Each participant completed a language switching task to assess language control and a rule switching task to evaluate cognitive control while undergoing functional MRI scanning. We collected structural imaging data, task-related functional imaging data, and behavioral data from the participants. Additionally, their language proficiency and domain-general cognitive ability were recorded after the scanning. This dataset was released early to facilitate the exploration of the neural relationship between language control and cognitive control, promoting its broader use and benefiting the scientific community. It is well-suited for the study of causality analysis, representational similarity analysis and the prediction model construction.
双语者语言控制和认知控制之间的神经关联仍是一个有待进一步探索的成熟领域。在这项研究中，我们展示了一个功能磁共振成像（fMRI）数据集，该数据集同时检测了77名健康、无亲缘关系的汉英双语者的这两种控制类型。每位参与者在接受功能磁共振成像扫描时，完成了一项语言切换任务以评估语言控制，以及一项规则切换任务以评估认知控制。我们收集了参与者的结构成像数据、与任务相关的功能成像数据和行为数据。此外，在扫描后记录了他们的语言熟练度和一般领域认知能力。该数据集已提前发布，以促进对语言控制和认知控制之间神经关系的探索，推动其更广泛的应用，并造福科学界。它非常适合用于因果关系分析、表征相似性分析和预测模型构建的研究。
