In summary, our study suggests that matched-filter acquisition is an effective means of improving BOLD SNR in studies that rely on image smoothing at the post-processing level.
We conclude that precise controlled gas delivery markedly improves BOLD-calibration for fMRI studies of oxygen metabolism with both the HCP and the more precise HOP-alternative.
Also, a previous study on other functional MRI data acquired in the same subjects showed that treatment improved prefrontal BOLD responses to a verbal fluency task (Altena et al., 2008), supporting the impact of treatment on brain function.
Otherwise, provide a brief, informative explanation, such as: Organize, format, syntax, introduction, add detail, verbs, personal reference, links, photo, tip, warning, citation, improved stub, bold edit, add or removed template, etc.
This study explored the possible use of caffeine as an agent to improve the BOLD (blood oxygen level-dependent) signal response in fMRI.
We investigated whether the estimated EEG source activity improved models of the BOLD changes in EEG-fMRI data, compared to conventional « event-related » designs based solely on the visual identification of IED.
Understanding the nature of the link between neuronal activity and BOLD plays a crucial role in improving the interpretability of BOLD images as well as on the design of more robust and realistic models for the integration of EEG and fMRI.
He talked up his controversial record in Wisconsin, saying "big, bold reforms" lowered taxes by $2bn and improved education standards.
Moreover, we exemplify by theory and experimentation how the control of artefactual signal changes due to BOLD and movement effects may be further improved by the experimental design.
One of the few substantial changes made to the SSD was that two questions relating to muscle pain/achiness and muscle stiffness were combined and replaced with, "Rate the severity of muscle pain or stiffness at its worst in the past 24 hours?" Other minor changes included making selected words bold to improve the clarity.
