Synopsis

Keywords: fMRI Analysis, fMRI, multimodal imaging, physiology, caffeine

Motivation: Understanding caffeine's influence on the brain, CSF flow, and autonomic signals is essential. Recent research highlights the dynamic nature of these processes, creating a compelling need to investigate how caffeine impacts them.

Goal(s): This study aims to elucidate how caffeine, as a stimulant affecting sympathetic activity, affects brain activity, CSF flow, and autonomic signals.

Approach: Using an EEG-fMRI setup, we monitor individuals following caffeine intake to assess its effects on neural, CSF, and autonomic dynamics.

Results: The study's results transform our understanding of caffeine's impact, guiding scientists, clinicians, and patients to make right choices about caffeine consumption's effects on autonomic function, and health.

Impact: The results of this study can improve our understanding of caffeine's influence on neural and physiological processes, towards novel experiment design and analysis strategies.
