ofMRI is a powerful new technology that enables precise control of brain circuit elements while monitoring its causal output. To bring ofMRI to its full potential, it is essential to achieve high-spatial resolution with minimal distortions. To this end, we combined compressed sensing (CS) reconstruction with under-sampled ultra-high-resolution b-SSFP fMRI, and fast spiral readout. Under-sampling was performed by random selection of 1 in 3 spiral interleaves. The CS object function was designed to optimize data consistency and L1 norm minimization in spatial and temporal dimensions. The results demonstrate achievement of high-quality high-resolution images with precise temporal dynamics necessary for fMRI.
