Abstract

We provide a multimodal naturalistic neuroimaging database (NNDb-3T+), designed to support the study of brain function under both naturalistic and controlled experimental conditions. The database includes high-quality 3T fMRI data from 40 participants acquired during full-length movie-watching and three sensory mapping tasks: somatotopy, retinotopy, and tonotopy. Each participant also completed synchronized eye-tracking during movie-watching and retinotopy, physiological recordings, and a battery of behavioral and cognitive assessments. Data were collected across two MRI sessions and a remote testing session, with all data organized in a BIDS-compliant format. Technical validation confirms high data quality, with minimal head motion, accurate eye-tracker calibration, and robust task-evoked activation patterns. The database provides a unique resource for investigating individual differences, functional topographies, multimodal integration, and naturalistic cognition. All raw and preprocessed data, quality metrics, and preprocessing scripts are publicly available to support reproducible research.
