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.
