In order to quantify the hemodynamic contributions to the BOLD fMRI signal in humans, it is necessary to adopt a computational model that resembles the cortical vasculature and mimics hemodynamic changes triggered by neurovascular coupling. Moreover, simulation of the local magnetic disturbance induced by the geometry, hemodynamic changes, and the biophysical properties of the tissues can provide accurate insights on the physiological fingerprint of the BOLD fMRI signal. In this work, based on a realistic 3D computational approach of the human cortical vasculature, we simulate the biophysical effects produced by hemodynamic changes to compute a dynamic BOLD fMRI signal response.
