TL;DR: Parallel imaging in the form of multiband radiofrequency excitation, together with reduced k‐space coverage in the phase‐encode direction, was applied to human gradient echo functional MRI at 7 T for increased volumetric coverage and concurrent high spatial and temporal resolution.

TL;DR: Technical improvements and optimization of these methods as well as instrumental choices that impact speed of acquisition of fMRI and dMRI images at 3T are described, leading to whole brain coverage with 2 mm isotropic resolution fMRI data for tractography analysis with three-fold reduction in total dMRI data acquisition time.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that slice acceleration factors of up to eight with blipped controlled aliasing in parallel imaging (CAIPI), in the absence of in-plane accelerations, can be used routinely with acceptable image quality and integrity for whole brain imaging.

TL;DR: There is strong evidence that a sensitivity to capillary oxygenation state is present in high S/N functional MR images obtained with EPI at 4 T, and in very good agreement with published data obtained with intrinsic optical mapping techniques.

TL;DR: With both the four‐ and the eight‐channel arrays, parallel imaging with sensitivity encoding with high reduction numbers was feasible at 7 T in the human head.
