In this study we use simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG) and multi-echo functional magnetic resonance imaging (ME-fMRI) to demonstrate the ability of ME-ICA denoising to resolve slow changes without need for baseline models. We use a visual flickering checkerboard with varying contrast to elicit a response measurable by fMRI and also EEG. We find that the ME-denoised data improves the fMRI timeseries correlation with the ideal task without removing the task signature that is shown to exist in the EEG data.
