Abstract
Structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the key technology to non-invasively characterize the development of the human brain because it is noninvasive it can be used throughout the lifespan to measure structural and functional brain networks. However, MRI images take time to collect typically scanning sessions last from 30-60 minutes with a structural image taking 5-10 minutes to obtain. This makes motion a large problem and as the amount of motion is age-related a major confound for developmental and longitudinal studies. This project aims to develop practical motion correction strategies available for these studies.
