A voluntary head motion suppression method using feedback to subjects of their own head motion information is demonstrated. A real-time fMRI system was developed on standard MR imaging hardware for this purpose. The head motion information was simplified as a four-way arrow display that changed color from green to red when a composite head motion index went beyond a specified threshold. The arrow indicators were integrated into a version of the commonly used visual N-BACK task. Results suggest a significant suppression of head motion consistently in all subjects while the influence on task performance and brain activation was minimal. It is proposed that under certain experimental conditions, voluntary head motion suppression may feasibly be employed without significant compromise of fMRI data. Published by Elsevier Inc.
