Example of a subject (7R3) with a stable, coherent resting state 0.15-Hz oscillation in RRI, respiration and BOLD signals in the cortex and brainstem during low anxiety (AS = 14). In each box ffDTF as a function of consecutive eight time windows of 40 s length is shown. Blue lines: outflow from the structure marked below the box to the structure marked at the left, red lines: flow from structure marked at the left to this marked below. The insert (top right) shows time courses of signals: RRI (upper curve) and BOLD from ROI 103 (lower curve). Note that RRI precedes BOLD oscillations by ~ 2.5 s (insert) and that a strong information flow can be observed, going from the cortex (MFG, ROI 7) to the brainstem (ROI 103) as marked by the stippled arrow.
