In fMRI time series temporal SNR is reduced by field drifts as well as physiological noise such as stemming from breathing or limb motion. To address this problem we present the use of a real-time field control system to compensate for field fluctuations independently of the employed sequence without the need to alter image reconstruction or additional pre-processing.
