Technical manual:
Jack, A. I. (2003) How to use the 3T Allegra.Washington University Internal Document.
I pioneered the use of the Siemens Allegra 3T scanner at Wash. U. for BOLD studies, and authored the first version of this manual. It includes practical instructions, results of tests to optimise the scanner, and discussion of analysis issues. The first version of the manual which I authored has served as a basis and model for later versions, to which many have now contributed and which continues to be updated.
