Recent research has shown that head motion can cause spurious group differences in functional as well as structural connectivity analyses. We examine slice-by-slice prospective hardware motion correction in EPI sequences (BOLD and 3x simultaneous multislice BOLD) in order to mitigate such differences. Our method incurs a 7.8% and 15.9% penalty to tSNR due motion in the BOLD and 3xSMS-BOLD sequences respectively, compared to 38.5% and 23.8% tSNR penalty respectively in the next best methods. Additionally, we observe that susceptibility due to motion has as large an effect as the motion itself.
