Recent research has shown that head motion can cause
spurious group differences in functional as well as
structural connectivity analyses. We examine
slice-by-slice prospective hardware motion correction in
EPI sequences (BOLD and 3x simultaneous multislice BOLD)
in order to mitigate such differences. Our method incurs
a 7.8% and 15.9% penalty to tSNR due motion in the BOLD
and 3xSMS-BOLD sequences respectively, compared to 38.5%
and 23.8% tSNR penalty respectively in the next best
methods. Additionally, we observe that susceptibility
due to motion has as large an effect as the motion
itself.
