TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a method to create interslice image shifts in the phase encoding direction to increase the distance between aliasing pixels, induced using sign-and amplitude-modulated slice-select gradient blips simultaneous with the EPI phase encoding blips.

TL;DR: The Human Connectome Project is to address limiting factors by re-engineering the scanner from the ground up to optimize the high b-value, high angular resolution diffusion imaging needed for sensitive and accurate mapping of the brain's structural connections by implementing a novel 4-port drive geometry and optimizing size and linearity for the brain.

TL;DR: A coherent pattern of oscillating electrophysiological, hemodynamic, and CSF dynamics that appears during non–rapid eye movement sleep is discovered, demonstrating that the sleeping brain exhibits waves of CSF flow on a macroscopic scale, and theseCSF dynamics are interlinked with neural and hemodynamic rhythms.

TL;DR: This parallel imaging technique began over a decade ago and through recent sequence improvements has reduced the acquisition time of multi-slice EPI by over ten fold.

TL;DR: It is shown that data acquisition times for Q-ball and diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) can be reduced 3-fold with a minor loss in SNR and with similar diffusion results compared to conventional acquisitions.
