The recent emergence of fast simultaneous multi-slice functional MRI acquisitions has increased interest in exploring high frequency resting-state networks for functional connectivity MRI. Although studies have reported detecting high frequency networks, little has been done to investigate if the underlying source is truly BOLD based. Here, we propose to investigate the occurrence of whole brain high frequency BOLD resting-state networks, using multi-echo independent component analysis (ME-ICA) of high-pass filtered multi-echo simultaneous multi-slice (MESMS) data, which allows for automatic identification of high frequency BOLD and non-BOLD networks. We find that BOLD networks at frequencies higher than 0.2Hz are largely nonexistent.
