Dear fMRIB,
This may be a bit off-topic, but can your group offer any advice regarding the best acquisition parameters for mutiband EPI sequences for resting-state data? I noted the parameters used in your recent (and awesome) PNAS paper on resting-state temporal dynamics. However, with the range of acceleration factors available, it seems that even faster TRs are quite feasible. Is data available to direct these decisions? Alternately, is there an outcome measure that you can suggest to evaluate data acquired under different parameters?
Thanks for any advice you can provide.
Best,
Ted
