Respiratory and cardiac data are generally used to properly account for the presence of physiological noise in fMRI data. Pneumatic belts can be unreliable, but we show that EPI phase data can be used to generate a reliable respiratory time series from which regressors are used in a GLM procedure to correct magnitude data. The efficacy of our method is compared with respect to (i) uncorrected magnitude data and (ii) magnitude data corrected using respiratory belt-derived regressors.
