          Simultaneous Multi slice acceleration (SMS) EPI 
						technique provides a new tool for measuring the DSC-MR 
						and BOLD signal with higher spatial and/or temporal 
						resolution. In this study, we applied an iterative 
						algorithm to extract the global pattern by averaging the 
						time series of each voxel after re-alignment based on 
						its time-shift. In addition, by using SMS EPI sequence 
						for rs-fMRI data acquisition, higher temporal resolution 
						(TR = 1000 ms) and higher spatial resolution can be 
						achieved to provide more accurate results.
