What Are the Limitations of BOLD Imaging?


Although BOLD imaging is a powerful tool, it has limitations. The BOLD signal is an indirect measure of neuronal activity, relying on changes in blood flow and oxygenation. This can introduce a lag between neuronal activation and the observed signal. Additionally, spatial resolution is limited by the vascular structure and the imaging technology used.
