Modelling physiological effects in fMRI data can increase the precision of fMRI for measuring local neural activity, as well as open new avenues for studying brain physiology and brain-body interactions in health and disease. In this educational talk, I will describe existing techniques for extracting systemic physiological information (cardiac, respiration, CO2) from concurrent physiological recordings (i.e. model-based) or directly from fMRI data (i.e. data-driven). I will also explain how to use this information for accounting for physiological confounding signals in fMRI data analysis (i.e. denoising), including both faster-scale oscillations time-locked to the respiratory/cardiac cycles and slower-scale variations (< 0.1 Hz) that overlap with the spectrum of intrinsic neuronal hemodynamic activity, and gaining further insights in the interpretation of fMRI findings for broad cognitive and clinical applications.
