FIRMM software provides real-time and summary feedback about motion during #fMRI. Although this can reduce motion during resting state studies, what about task studies?

Real-time feedback reduces participant motion during task-based fMRI

https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.01.12.523791

We pseudorandomly assigned participants to receive motion feedback, or not, during an fMRI study of spoken word recognition. We found feedback associated with modest-but-significant reductions in motion (framewise displacement), particularly for high-motion frames. For some studies, it could be that giving participants feedback about their motion will improve data quality.

Happy to share that this paper from Loretta Norton, Adrian Owen, and colleagues—which I had a small role in—is now out! (1/)

In this paper, we used #fMRI to assess the cognitive functions of people with acute disorders of consciousness, such as coma (following up on a mountain of prior work in chronic disorders of consciousness, much from Adrian's lab).
