“…Furthermore, having the capability to collect data from awake animals increases the proper translation of experimental conditions, as human subjects are studied in the conscious, awake condition. The use of conscious, awake NHPs in neuroimaging experiments is becoming increasingly popular, as exemplified by numerous studies ( Andersen et al, 2002 ; Belcher et al, 2016 ; Chen et al, 2012 ; Goense and Logothetis, 2008 ; Grinvald et al, 1991 ; Hori et al, 2020a ; Hung et al, 2015 ; Liu et al, 2013 ; Mantini et al, 2012b ; Nelissen and Vanduffel, 2011 ; Orban et al, 2004 ; Santisakultarm et al, 2016 ; Schaeffer et al, 2019 ; Sharma et al, 2019 ; Silva, 2017 ; Tootell et al, 2003 ; Tsukada et al, 2000 ; Vanduffel et al, 2001 ; Yamada et al, 2016 ). Much work has been done to compare functional data obtained in awake versus anesthetized conditions ( Barttfeld et al, 2015 ; Krzeminski et al, 2017 ; Liu et al, 2013 ; Liu et al, 2015a ; Uhrig et al, 2016 ; Uhrig et al, 2018 ).…”
