Recently, an increase in the stiffness of activated regions of the visual cortex due to a controlled variation of block duration has been demonstrated with fMRE elastograms. The current study aims to investigate the relationship between BOLD fMRI and fMRE due to a controlled variation of both contrast intensity and contrast frequency of a visual stimulation. This study demonstrates that the fMRE-measured stiffness change varies linearly with the underlying neural activity, which can be modulated by stimulus parameterization.
