Multi-site studies are an attractive option at ultra-high field (7T) as it is possible to pool larger number of datasets of healthy and patients increasing the statistical power of neuroimaging studies. However, differences on scanner hardware and software increase variability in the measurements obtained on across imaging sites.In this study we have piloted the application of a multimodal ICA approach for denoising scanner effects across two different 7T MRI scanner platforms.
