In this presentation, I give a brief overview of the fMRI acquisition methods developed between 1990 and 2020. The history of fMRI acquistions is a colourful one, going from MBEST and spirals to blipped CAIPIRINHA and alternative contrasts in 30 short years.
I'd like to thank the makers of the Neuroimage special issue 20 yrs fMRI, BBC scotland, Bob Turner, Chris Wiggins, Essa Yacoub, Paul de Bruin, José Marques and Pubmed & google scholar for helping me out with this presentation.
Also a big thank you to all the fMRI techniques developers out there, keep up the good work!
