Optimizing the experimental design for ankle dorsiflexion fMRI
Abstract
Compared to motor studies of the upper limb, few experiments have sought a relationship between blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) sensorimotor signals and the resulting lower limb output. In Experiment 1, using an fMRI simulator system, we determined the optimized experimental protocol based on two design types and four behavioral movement types during ankle dorsiflexion. Experiment 2 involved …
