Multi-echo Acquisition and Thermal Denoising Advances Infant Precision Functional Imaging.

ABSTRACT: The characterization of individual functional brain organization with Precision Functional Mapping has provided important insights in recent years in adults. However, little is known about the ontogeny of inter-individual differences in brain functional organization during human development, but precise characterization of systems organization during periods of high plasticity might be most influential towards discoveries promoting lifelong health. Collecting and analyzing precision fMRI data during early development has unique challenges and emphasizes the importance of novel methods to improve data acquisition, processing, and analysis strategies in infant samples. Here, we investigate the applicability of two such methods from adult MRI research, multi-echo (ME) data acquisition and the
