Abstract
An EPI pulse sequence is performed by an NMR system which acquires 128 images of the brain over a time interval during which the subject performs a function or is stimulated. The acquired time course NMR data is displayed in different ways for analysis. Four different methods for producing brain function images from the NMR data are described.
