Specified-resolution wavelet analysis of activation patterns from BOLD contrast fMRI.

Functional magnetic resonance (MR) MR imaging (fMRI) with blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) contrast localizes neuronal processing of cognitive paradigms. As magnetic resonance signal responses are small, functional mapping requires statistical analysis of temporally averaged image data. Alth...
