Activation maps overlaid on original functional MRI scans from,
A, gradient-echo echo-planar imaging (EPI) and,
B, T2-prepared (T2prep) blood oxygenation
level–dependent functional MRI approaches, respectively, in axial
imaging plane from healthy participant wearing titanium dental braces
during breath-hold task. Activated voxels are highlighted with their
corresponding t scores from general linear model
analysis with identical statistical threshold. Range of
t scores is indicated by scale bar.
