Time-varying spectral power of resting-state fMRI networks reveal cross-frequency dependence in dynamic connectivity. by Maziar Yaesoubi, Robyn L Miller, Vince D Calhoun

“…Despite high spatial resolution, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) suffers from low temporal resolution due to modulation with slow-varying hemodynamic response function (HRF) and also relatively low sampling rate. This limits the range of detectable frequency bands in fMRI and consequently there has been no evidence of cross-frequency dependence in fMRI data. …”
