MRI acquisitions were performed using a 1.5 T Siemens Magnetom Avanto (Erlangen, Germany) scanner with an eight-channel head coil. Resting state fMRI, BOLD EPI images (TR/TE = 2500/30 ms; resolution = 3.1 × 3.1 × 2.5 mm3; matrix size = 64 × 64; number of axial slices = 39; number of volumes = 160; acquisition time 6 min and 40 s) were collected at rest. Subjects were instructed to keep their eyes closed, not to think about anything in particular, and not to fall asleep. T1-weighted 3D scans were also acquired (TR/TE = 1900/3.37 ms; resolution = 1 × 1 × 1 mm3; matrix size = 192 × 256; number of axial slices = 176) and used as anatomical references for fMRI analysis and for voxel-based morphometry (VBM) analysis. T2-weighted dual-echo turbo spin echo (TR/TE = 2920/22 ms, FoV = 240 × 180 mm, resolution = 0.75 × 0.75 × 4 mm3, number of axial slices = 25) and FLAIR (TR/TE = 9000/121 ms, FoV = 240 × 168 mm, in-plane resolution = 0.94 × 0.94 × 5 mm3, number of coronal slices = 24) images were also acquired to limit the risk of including subjects with concomitant vascular pathology (exclusion criteria: one or more macroscopic T2-weighted abnormalities located in the deep white matter (WM) or more than five abnormalities, maximum diameter < 5 mm, located in periventricular regions).

Rektor I et al., Association between the basal ganglia and large-scale brain networks in epilepsy.

Imaging was performed on a 1.5 T Siemens Magnetom Symphony scanner. We obtained 300 functional scans from each subject during one 15-min run. Functional images were acquired using a gradient echo echoplanar imaging (EPI) sequence with the following parameters: RT (scan repeat time) = 3,000 ms, TE = 40 ms, FOV = 220 mm, flip angle = 90, matrix size 64 * 64, slice thickness = 3.5 mm, 32 transversal slices per scan. Following functional measurements,

high-resolution anatomical T1-weighted images were acquired using a 3D sequence that served as a matrix for the functional imaging (160 sagittal slices, resolution 256 * 256 interpolated to 512 * 512, slice thickness = 1.17 mm, TR = 1,700 ms, TE = 3.96 ms, FOV = 246 mm, flip angle = 15).

E Isanova et al., Resting-state fMRI study of patients with fragile X syndrome,

The fMRI was performed on an Achieva (Philips) scanner with a magnetic field strength of 1.5 T by using an 8-channel head SENSE coil. FMRI data were acquired using an echo-planar imaging sequence with the following imaging parameters: matrix = 64×64, 35 slices, voxel size = 4×4×4 mm, repetition time TR = 3500 ms, echo time ТЕ = 50 ms). Reference anatomical images were obtained by T1-TFE (turbo field echo) sequence with the following imaging parameters: matrix = 256×256, 64 slices, voxel size = 1×1×3 mm in three orthogonal projections.

Tuomo Starck et al., Resting state fMRI reveals a default mode dissociation between retrosplenial and medial prefrontal subnetworks in ASD despite motion scrubbing

Imaging was carried out during 2007 using a GE 1.5 T HDX scanner equipped with an 8-channel head coil employing parallel imaging with an acceleration factor of 2. During the resting state scan the participants were asked to lie still, stay relaxed and awake and look at a white cross on the middle of a dark-gray screen. Within the MRI session the resting state was scanned before any task-fMRI scans. BOLD fMRI scanning of 7.5 min consisted of 253 whole brain volumes of which the first three were discarded due to T1 equilibrium effects. Parameters of the GR-EPI scanning employing parallel imaging were TR 1.8 s, TE 40 ms, flip angle 90°, FOV 256 mm, 64 × 64 in-plane matrix, 4 × 4 × 4 mm voxel size, 28 oblique axial slices with a 0.4 mm gap and interleaved acquisition order. Structural data were acquired using a T1-weighted 3D FSPGR sequence with 1 mm oblique axial slices, FOV 24.0 × 24.0 cm with a 256 × 256 matrix.

Hongyi Zheng et al., Acute Effects of Alcohol on the Human Brain: A Resting-State fMRI Study

All anatomical and BOLD-sensitive MRI data were acquired using gradient-echo echo-planar imaging (EPI) sequences in a 1.5T MRI scanner (GE) with an eight-channel-phased array head coil. Foam pads were used to reduce head movements and scanner noise. To measure the individual fMRI data, the imaging parameters were set as follows: slice thickness = 5 mm, slice gap = 1 mm, TR = 2,000 ms, TE = 30 ms, FOV = 24 cm × 24 cm, flip angle = 90°, and matrix = 64 × 64. 180 volumes (20 slices per volume) were acquired during 360 s of an fMRI run. During data acquisition, subjects were required to relax with eyes closed, not to fall asleep, and to move as little as possible. For anatomic data sets, we used a 3D-BRAVO sequence (thickness: 1.4 mm (no gap), TR = 8.2 ms, TE = 1.0 ms, FOV = 24 cm × 24 cm, flip angle = 25°, and matrix = 256 × 256).
