In this study, we exploit cortical depth-dependent information to de-noise high-resolution fMRI data. We have proposed a novel de-noising pipeline that can automatically differentiate neural and non-neural fluctuations according to cross-cortical-depth delay patterns. We also show that by excluding voxels intersecting the pial surface can reduce physiological effects and improve neuronal/spatial specificity.
