We present a new method for image reconstruction from undersampled data for accelerating fMRI data acquisition. The proposed method integrates a low-rank model of the fMRI image series and a sparsity constraint in a unified mathematical formulation, enabling high quality reconstruction of fMRI images from highly undersampled data. Representative results from simulations based on experimental data were used to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.
