We investigated the resting state brain dynamics using single-shot multi-echo EPI sequence with simultaneously acquired electroencephalography (EEG) and respiratory data. Multi-echo EPI images were decomposed into linearly weighted components based on differentiated TE-dependent signals using spatial independent component analysis (ICA). The BOLD signal of neuronal or non-neuronal/physiological origin was differentiated by comparing the time course of EPI independent components with the variations of EEG alpha power and respiratory volumes. Results show that the multi-echo ICA approach based on the multimodal data is able to decompose the BOLD signals into components of neuronal and non-neuronal origin, and thus can be used to remove the physiological noise of BOLD signals.
