In this work, we propose a novel method for quiet, 3D, T2* BOLD fMRI in form of multi-echo Looping Star. Its inaudible scanning offers unique potential for pediatric imaging, imaging auditory or speech paradigms, as well as for resting-state studies. In comparison to standard Gradient-Echo EPI, Looping Star demonstrated better tSNR and lower temporal drift. Motor activation and identification of resting state networks are demonstrated for single and combined echo processing.
