We first computed tSNR for each preprocessed functional run using data in each subject’s anatomy without template normalization, which would smooth the data spatially and affect tSNR. For each voxel, tSNR was calculated within each separate run as the temporal mean divided by the temporal standard deviation45. A tSNR map was generated for each subject by computing the median tSNR across runs within each voxel. To qualitatively visualize how tSNR varied according to brain areas and generate a group tSNR map, the same analysis was performed with functional data resampled to the fsaverage surface.
