One of the most important frontiers in the efforts to improve functional imaging of brain activity (fMRI) is the recent push to increase the magnetic fields for human imaging beyond 10 Tesla. Having established safety, large gains in signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR), and novel radiofrequency arrays that capture the higher SNR, here we demonstrate major gains in the spatial resolution, sensitivity, and functional contrast of BOLD (Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent) based human fMRI at 10.5 Tesla. Using image reconstruction methods developed to minimize blurring, we also demonstrate that ultrahigh resolutions achieved at 10.5 Tesla suppress large-vein confounds in gradient-recalled-echo BOLD fMRI, thus improving the fidelity of functional signals relative to neuronal activity and yielding accurate cortical depth-profiles for layer-specific activation. Together, these multiplicative benefits deliver much needed increases in precision and resolution for meso-scale fMRI applications and illustrate the transformative potential of human functional imaging at magnetic fields that exceed 10 Tesla.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
