Precision fMRI and cluster-failure in the individual brain.

ABSTRACT: Advances in neuroimaging acquisition protocols and denoising techniques, along with increasing magnetic field strengths, have dramatically improved the temporal signal-to-noise ratio (tSNR) in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This permits spatial resolution with submillimeter voxel sizes and ultrahigh temporal resolution and opens a route toward performing precision fMRI in the brains of individuals. Yet ultrahigh spatial and temporal resolution comes at a cost: it reduces tSNR and, therefore, the sensitivity to the blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) effect and other functional contrasts across the brain. Here we investigate the potential of various smoothing filters to improve BOLD sensitivity while preserving the spatial accuracy of activated clusters in single-subject anal
