The specificity of GE-BOLD profiles is suspected to be degraded by intracortical veins. In this work experimentally obtained GE-BOLD profiles for different subjects are deconvolved with a laminar point spread functions obtained from a model of cortical vasculature. The obtained underlying activation profiles are closer to the activity profiles expected from electrophysiology for the type of stimulus used.
