If the information isn't available publicly, it's unlikely anyone here can help you, I would contact the authors directly.

@BryanKrause I have emailed both authors several times but haven't received any response.
None of the above websites have open discussion features, and I can't find relevant information online.
After reviewing the papers, I still can't find the related information.
However, these two pieces of information (slice timing and slice order) are crucial for data preprocessing - otherwise, we can only make assumptions.

Then you're probably out of luck. Be sure you're trying to contact the senior authors, any student authors are most likely out of academia by now.

@BryanKrause OK. Thank you for your suggestions.

# What is the slice timing or slice order information of the Neurocon & Taowu datasets?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2024-10-21)

The websites lack crucial information on slice timing and slice order, which are essential for preprocessing fMRI data.
