Hello,
How can I find out which resting state fMRI volumes are affected by the "pencil artifact" and which ones are not?
Also, where can I learn more about this artifact?
(this is the only resource I've been able to find: http://adni.loni.usc.edu/support/experts-knowledge-base/question/?QID=222 )
Thank you for your question to the ADNI MRI Core.
The artifact is not assessed by individual volume. It is basically a spatial pattern of decreased temporal SNR, hence it applies to the entire series.
