Following a recent implementation1 of a Multi-Band2 Multi-Echo3 (MBME) sequence at 7T for resting state fMRI that showed improved sensitivity, the potential benefits of MBME with respect to a single band multi-echo (SBME) were investigated at 3T using an event related design. : Implementation of Multi-Band in a Multi-Echo sequence shows improved sensitivity in several GM areas and benefits more from automatic non-BOLD related signal removal than a standard Multi-Echo sequence in a standard resolution, event related design at 3T.
