Rapid imaging techniques are increasingly used in functional MRI studies because they allow a greater number of samples to be acquired per unit time, thereby increasing statistical power. However, temporal correlations limit the increase in functional sensitivity and must be accurately accounted for to control the false-positive rate. A common approach to accounting for temporal correlations is to whiten the data prior to estimating fMRI model parameters. Models of white noise plus a first-order autoregressive process have proven sufficient for conventional imaging studies, but more elaborate models are required for rapidly sampled data. Here we show that when the FAST model implemented in SPM is used with a well-controlled number of parameters, it can successfully prewhiten 80% of grey matter voxels even with volume repetition times as short as 0.35 s. We further show that the temporal signal-to-noise ratio (tSNR), which has conventionally been used to assess the relative functional sensitivity of competing imaging approaches, can be augmented to account for the temporal correlations in the time series. This amounts to computing the t-score testing for the mean signal. We show in a visual perception task that unlike the tSNR weighted by the number of samples, the t-score measure is directly related to the t-score testing for activation when the temporal correlations are correctly modeled. This score affords a more accurate means of evaluating the functional sensitivity of different data acquisition options.
