Cerebral blood flow (CBF) data were collected with arterial spin labeled (ASL) perfusion MRI in a group of young, healthy subjects over two sessions, scheduled a week apart. CBF and functional connectivity metrics were derived from the CBF time series across four different resting conditions: ‘eyes open’, ‘eyes closed’, ‘fixation’ (eyes fixated on a cross), and ‘PVT’ (low-frequency psychomotor vigilance task). Absolute CBF was highly reproducible both within and across sessions. Results suggest that ‘fixation’ is inferior to the other conditions tested for resting-state ASL reproducibility.
