Figure 1:
a) Plot of water signal vectors during head motion. Each solid line represents the water signal of a single FID in the complex plane (total 32 FIDs). The length of some of the vectors is decreased (1a), probably due to motion-induced attenuation during fast movements; b) MR spectrum from coherent (blue) and incoherent averaging (red). When using the individual signals represented in 1a (incoherent averaging), the phase of the individual FIDs is random, leading to incoherent averaging.
