Synopsis

Using multi-center resting-state fMRI databases under eyes closed (EC) and eyes open (EO), this study systematically investigated the intra- and inter-scanner reliability and validity of Wavelet-mALFF across multiple frequency bands. We found that Wavelet-mALFF outperformed FFT-mALFF in terms of intra- and inter-reliability and validity, particularly in the higher frequency band slow-2 (0.1992-0.25 Hz), where db2-mALFF is the top performer in Wavelet-mALFF. We propose that instead of FFT-ALFF, db2-ALFF can be employed to measure the spontaneous oscillations of local brain activity in future studies.
