Notes. Like Table 2, but comparing the cleanest and bsens data. σMAD(bsens) and σMAD(cleanest) are the standard deviation error estimates computed from a signal-free region in the map using the Median Absolute Deviation as a robust estimator. Their ratio shows that the broader included bandwidth increases sensitivity; fBW, cleanest specifies the fraction of the total bandwidth that was incorporated into the cleanest images. Speak is the peak intensity in the images.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
