While most analysis approaches assume temporal stationarity in the study of brain functional connectivity, there is increasing evidence that spontaneous activity in functional networks also comprise more dynamic and transient states. Inferences about dynamic functional connectivity are usually established upon group analyses, thereby inherently excluding the characterization of brain states relating to an individuals specific cognitive and mental processes. Here, we demonstrate that functional networks can robustly mapped from sparse and brief spontaneous BOLD events in individual subjects by using sparse paradigm free mapping and clustering techniques, as well as benefiting from the high BOLD sensitivity available at 7T and high temporal resolution of 3D-PRESTO
