Things to watch for

  1. gibbs ringing artifacts
  2. abnormal intensity differences in GM/WM indicative of pathology (here)

Notes

Correction of noise sources and signal confounds has a considerable impact on neuroimaging results Khalili-Mahani2013

Noise sources are exacerbated under Psychedelics increase head motion during scanning and alter blood pressure, respiration, heart rate Griffiths201 Holze2021 Olbrich2021

global signal regression has been found to substantively alter psychedelic effects on resting-state measures Preller2020 Preller2018
