Abstract
Functional brain imaging using MRI (functional MRI or fMRI) has become an extremely valuable tool for studying function/structure relationships in the human brain in both normal and clinical populations. There are, however, numerous technical challenges that limit the image quality, speed, resolution, and quantitative abilities of existing techniques. This work presents the general goals for optimization in fMRI and several major sources of artifacts and approaches to address those artifacts.
