Simultaneous multi-slice (multiband) accelerated functional magnetic resonance imaging
(fMRI) provides dramatically improved temporal and spatial resolution for resting-state
functional connectivity (RSFC) studies of the human brain in health and disease. However,
multiband acceleration also poses unique challenges for denoising of subject motion
induced data artifacts, the presence of which is a major confound in RSFC research that
substantively diminishes reliability and reproducibility. We comprehensively evaluated …
