We investigated the resting state brain dynamics using
single-shot multi-echo EPI sequence with simultaneously
acquired electroencephalography (EEG) and respiratory
data. Multi-echo EPI images were decomposed into
linearly weighted components based on differentiated
TE-dependent signals using spatial independent component
analysis (ICA). The BOLD signal of neuronal or
non-neuronal/physiological origin was differentiated by
comparing the time course of EPI independent components
with the variations of EEG alpha power and respiratory
volumes. Results show that the multi-echo ICA approach
based on the multimodal data is able to decompose the
BOLD signals into components of neuronal and
non-neuronal origin, and thus can be used to remove the
physiological noise of BOLD signals.
