Hi, it is customary to look at that range because higher frequencies may be contaminated due to aliased cardiorespiratory artifacts (as well as with high frequency motion artifacts in the borders of the brain). However it is not clear that proper artifact removal (i.g. RETROICOR method) does not allow to reveal functionally meaningful organization at higher frequencies (up to the highest recordable with fMRI). As an example, look at the following paper: http://www.jneurosci.org/content/31/21/7910.short Bw, Enzo On Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 7:43 PM, John Fredy <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hello Jason > > For I know this is the range of frequencies with a neural origin > > > 1. > Cordes D, Haughton VM, Arfanakis K, Carew JD, Turski PA, Moritz CH, et al. > Frequencies Contributing to Functional Connectivity in the Cerebral Cortex > in «Resting-state» Data.
