Journal ArticleDOI
A component based noise correction method (CompCor) for BOLD and perfusion based fMRI
TL;DR: A component based method for the reduction of noise in both blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) and perfusion-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data is presented and the temporal standard deviation of resting-state perfusion and BOLD data in gray matter regions was significantly reduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caffeine alters the temporal dynamics of the visual BOLD response
Thomas T. Liu,Yashar Behzadi,Khaled Restom,Kamil Uludag,Kun Lu,Giedrius T. Buracas,David J. Dubowitz,Richard B. Buxton +7 more
TL;DR: The blood oxygenation level-dependent responses to visual stimuli, using both a 1-s long single trial stimulus and a 20-slong block stimulus, were measured in a 4-T magnetic field both before and immediately after a 200-mg caffeine dose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological noise reduction for arterial spin labeling functional MRI
TL;DR: Three methods for the reduction of physiological noise in arterial spin labeling (ASL) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are presented and compared and should be particularly useful for ASL studies of cognitive processes where the intrinsic signal to noise ratio is typically lower than for studies of primary sensory regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
An arteriolar compliance model of the cerebral blood flow response to neural stimulus.
Yashar Behzadi,Thomas T. Liu +1 more
TL;DR: A second-order nonlinear feedback model of the evoked CBF response in which neural activity modulates the compliance of arteriolar smooth muscle is presented, which describes to first order the observed dependence of CBF and BOLD responses on the baseline vascular state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caffeine reduces the initial dip in the visual BOLD response at 3 T.
Yashar Behzadi,Thomas T. Liu +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that caffeine usage may be a key factor in the detection of the initial dip in human fMRI studies, both before and immediately after a 200-mg oral caffeine dose.
