Noise markers in fMRI IC.
| Noise independent component (IC) characteristics |
|---|
| 1. A large number of small voxel clusters |
| 2. Cluster peaks in the white matter |
| 3. High overlap with the white matter, the cerebrospinal fluid, or the blood vessels |
| 4. Crescent shape aligning with the brain boundary |
| 5. Sudden changes in the oscillation pattern in the BOLD signal |
| 6. Located within area of signal loss |
