Abstract
Increasing the temporal resolution of the blood‑oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) response is usually accompanied by a decrease in repetition time and therefore also a reduction of the magnetic resonance (MR) signal due to incomplete T1 relaxation and thus a loss of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). A previous data reordering method can achieve higher temporal sampling rate without the loss of SNR but at the cost of increased scan time. In this proof-of-principle work, we show that combining HiHi reshuffling with multiband acceleration allows us to measure the in vivo BOLD response with a 75-ms sampling rate that is decoupled from the acquisition repetition time (here 1.5 s and hence higher SNR) while covering the entire forebrain with 60 2-mm slices in a ~ 35-min scan. We provide single-voxel time-courses of the BOLD responses in the primary visual and primary motor cortices in three fMRI experiments on a 7 T scanner - 1 male (scanned twice on different days for test-retest reproducibility) and 1 female participant.
