How Can we Overcome Limits to Temporal Resolution?

• Use a fast imaging sequence (e.g. EPI)

  • enables temporal resolutions up to 100ms, but with non-optimal contrast-to-noise ratio

• Gate repeated acquisitions to stimuli.

  • assumes that neuronal response to the stimulus is repeatable
  • assumes that hemodynamic response to the stimulus is repeatable

• Combine fMRI with other techniques.

  • Use fMRI to constrain MEG inverse solutions
  • Combine fMRI with EEG
