Title: Machine Learning-based Estimation of Respiratory Fluctuations in a Healthy Adult Population using BOLD fMRI and Head Motion Parameters
(Submitted on 30 Apr 2024)
Abstract: Motivation: In many fMRI studies, respiratory signals are often missing or of poor quality. Therefore, it could be highly beneficial to have a tool to extract respiratory variation (RV) waveforms directly from fMRI data without the need for peripheral recording devices.
Goal(s): Investigate the hypothesis that head motion parameters contain valuable information regarding respiratory patter, which can help machine learning algorithms estimate the RV waveform.
Approach: This study proposes a CNN model for reconstruction of RV waveforms using head motion parameters and BOLD signals.
Results: This study showed that combining head motion parameters with BOLD signals enhances RV waveform estimation.
Impact: It is expected that application of the proposed method will lower the cost of fMRI studies, reduce complexity, and decrease the burden on participants as they will not be required to wear a respiratory bellows.
