Clinical 7T gradients can go fast — but peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) stops you at high-res fMRI. ⚡ Meet POPE 🌍: we reshape EPI pulses to dodge PNS exactly when it spikes → robust 0.3mm fMRI, seeing intracortical veins. 🧠 w/ @SiemensHealth 👉 doi.org/10.64898/202...

Fully agree. There was a slide on one of the layer-fMRI educationals at OHBM trying to get an overview of the layer field. Attention (or what people call it to be) seems to be the least reproducible effect in the field.
