Less is more: balancing noise reduction and data retention in fMRI with data-driven scrubbing

Damon Pham, Daniel McDonald, Lei Ding +2

Artifacts in functional MRI (fMRI) data cause deviations from common distributional assumptions, introduce spatial and temporal outliers, and reduce the signal-to-noise ratio of th…
