What you’ll need apart from a MRI scanner Pulse sequence Stimulus presentation Peripheral recordings Advanced settings

Pulse sequence Contrast: T2* BOLD, ASL Scanning parameters: phase encoding direction, spatial resolution (slice thickness, in-plane resolution), slice orientation, temporal resolution, etc. Must be sensitive to the brain regions you’re trying to get signals from You’ll need to consult an MR physicist!
