Preprocessed fMRI, behavioral, and questionnaire data from self-other-touch, self-referential, & agency tasks

This dataset was collected as part of a European Research Council funded project investigating bodily and cognitive aspects of self-processing and their alterations in complicated grief. This project was approved by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority (DNR 2024-06433-01). The inclusion of participants and the data acquisition was carried out at Linköping University. The data presented here, stems from 40 healthy adult participants recruited in Sweden over a period of 12 month in 2025. The dataset comprises pre-processed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data acquired during a self-other-touch task and a self-referential thinking task, together with task log files, behavioral data from an agency task, demographic information, and questionnaires assessing self-processing and related psychological constructs. In the self-other-touch task, participants experienced touch delivered either by themselves or by another person. In the self-referential thinking task, participants performed trait-judgement evaluations involving themselves, a close and a distant other. To evaluate implicit agency, a version of an intentional binding task was used. The dataset was originally collected to investigate cognitive and bodily dimensions of self-processing in healthy individuals. These multimodal data can be reused for studies of self-processing, self-referential cognition, bodily self-awareness, social cognition, agency, individual differences, and for the development and validation of behavioral and neuroimaging analysis methods.
