In this study, we used high-speed single-slice EPI with TR = 100 ms to investigate the functional connectivity between hemispheric visual cortex. We sacrificed the coverage of the brain without compromising the spatial resolution in order to achieve a high sampling rate (10 Hz). With the high sampling rate, we were able to prevent the physiological noise from aliasing with the BOLD signals of interest and investigate the spontaneous BOLD signal at frequencies above 0.1Hz. We used time series correlation and oscillatory envelope correlation to assess the functional connectivity. Our results show that left visual cortex and right visual cortex are highly correlated at the frequency band lower than 0.08Hz and at the frequency band between 0.1Hz and 0.2Hz.口試委員會審定書 # 誌謝 i 中文摘要 ii ABSTRACT iii CONTENTS iv LIST OF FIGURES vi Chapter 1 Introduction 1 Chapter 2 Method 5 2.1 Participants 5 2.2 Data acquisition 6 2.3 Pre-processing 7 2.3.1 Filtering of physiological noises 7 2.4 Selection of the region-of-interest 8 2.5 Functional connectivity analysis by correlation 9 2.5.1 Frequency selection by band-pass filtering 9 2.5.2 Functional connectivity assessed by time series correlation 10 2.5.3 Functional connectivity assessed by oscillatory envelope correlation 10 Chapter 3 Results 13 3.1 Functional connectivity assessed by time series correlation 13 3.2 Functional connectivity assessed by oscillatory envelope correlation 17 3.3 Time series correlation between left and right visual cortex 20 3.4 Oscillatory envelope correlations between left and right visual cortex 21 Chapter 4 Discussion 23 REFERENCE 264623014 bytesapplication/pdf論文公開時間:2014/08/25論文使用權限:同意有償授權(權利金給回饋學校)核磁共振功能性核磁共振影像靜態功能性核磁共振影像視覺功能性連接相關利用快速功能性核磁共振影像研究靜態人腦視覺區功能性連接The resting-state functional connectivity at human visual cortex revealed by fast functional magnetic resonance imagingthesishttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/264466/1/ntu-103-R00548056-1.pdf
