Multiband fMRI as a plausible, time-saving technique for resting-state data acquisition: Study on functional connectivity mapping using graph theoretical measures

The present study demonstrates negligible differences between the conventional-rsfMRI and MB-rsfMRI acquisitions on the computed graph theoretic measures. Accordingly current analysis proves that MB-rs-fMRI may be used as a time reducing acquisition technique that enables mapping of functional connectivity with similar outcome as conventional rs-fMRI in healthy subjects.
