The present study aimed at characterizing the robustness of the default mode network (DMN) extracted at single subject level from ASL datasets with independent component analysis. Three different analyses modes were considered, including the series of perfusion weighted images, the full time series, and the pair-wise average of control/tag images (pseudo-BOLD). Results show that the three analysis modes produce DMNs with similar accuracy at a group level, but the pseudo-BOLD mode resulted in smaller inter-subject variability of the spatial distribution of the single-subject DMNs.
