Resting-state fMRI studies reflecting functional connectivity have been typically limited to frequencies below 0.1 H. Here, we hypothesize that fMRI can detect interregional correlations in MRI time series at frequencies above 0.1 Hz as well. Using MR inverse imaging (InI) at a 10 Hz sampling rate, we studied interhemispheric correlations between primary sensorimotor and visual cortices. We found significant correlations at 4 Hz (average Z-score ~8) that were about 60% of those observed at 0.1 Hz.
