This work evaluates the use of regularized spectral entropy (rSpecEn) as a potentially useful engineered feature for the classification of fMRI scan quality in real time. rSpecEn relies on the frequency sparsity of task-based fMRI signals, and a data-driven regularization method is employed to counteract unavoidable noise. Comparison to known measures of quality are used, as well as the use of fMRI scans with intentionally degraded quality. Sensitivity to fMRI data quality measures and an exploration of high accuracy scan quality classification are presented in this feasibility study.
