Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
The overarching goal of this study is to quantify the reproducibility of multiple measures of brain functional connectivity (FC) during resting conditions and during task performance.
Secondary outcome measures
The association between IFCD and the underlying structural connectivity and its contribution to between- subjects FC-variability during RS.
The correlation between glucose metabolism, CBF, lFCD, C, L and S and its contribution to between- subjects FC-variability during RS.
The correlation between physiologic noise and FC measures (lFCD, C, L and S) and its contribution to within- subjects FC-variability during RS and TS conditions.
