Exploiting magnetic resonance angiography imaging improves model estimation of BOLD signal.

The change of BOLD signal relies heavily upon the resting blood volume fraction ([Formula: see text]) associated with regional vasculature. However, existing hemodynamic data assimilation studies pretermit such concern. They simply assign the value in a physiologically plausible range to get over il...

description The change of BOLD signal relies heavily upon the resting blood volume fraction ([Formula: see text]) associated with regional vasculature.

They simply assign the value in a physiologically plausible range to get over ill-conditioning of the assimilation problem and fail to explore actual [Formula: see text]. Such performance might lead to unreliable model estimation. In this work, we present the first exploration of the influence of [Formula: see text] on fMRI data assimilation, where actual [Formula: see text] within a given cortical area was calibrated by an MR angiography experiment and then was augmented into the assimilation scheme.
