Hemodynamic Response
Primary end point of the study is to measure the amplitude and frequency response of hemodynamic response function during hypercarbia/hypocarbia using task-based functional MRI
Time frame: 12 Months
Resting state connectivity
To measure the strength of resting-state connectivity during hypercarbia/hypocarbia using high-speed multi-echo resting-state functional MRI.
Time frame: 12 month
Cardiac Pulsatility
Measure the amplitude and frequency spectrum of the cardiac pulsatility during hypercarbia/hypocarbia in functional MRI time series that are acquired using high-speed multi-echo functional MRI
Time frame: 12 Months
First Harmonic
To measure the amplitude ratio of the first harmonic of the cardiac pulsatility relative to the cardiac base frequency in these data, which is a biomarker of vascular compliance.speed multi echo fMRI.
Time frame: 12 Months
