Three‐dimensional echo planar imaging with controlled aliasing: A sequence for high temporal resolution functional MRI

In this work, we combine three‐dimensional echo planar imaging (3D‐EPI) with controlled aliasing to substantially increase temporal resolution in whole‐brain functional MRI (fMRI) while minimizing geometry‐factor (g‐factor) losses.
