Ultra-powerful brain scanners offer hope for Parkinson’s disease patients

31 May 2022

While most MRI scanners can show structures at the level of detail of a grain of rice, ultra-powerful 7T MRI scanners, which have ultra-strong magnetic fields, can provide resolution at the size of a grain of sand. Rong Ye and Claire O’Callaghan in a study published in Movement Disorders led by Luca Passamonti and James...

Accurate autocorrelation modeling substantially improves fMRI reliability

10 July 2018

Abstract Given the recent controversies in some neuroimaging statistical methods, we compared the most frequently used functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) analysis packages: AFNI, FSL and SPM, with regard to temporal autocorrelation modeling. This process, sometimes known as pre-whitening, is conducted in...
