 NORDIC (LLR PCA) is directly compatible with undersampled k-space data
Figure 4. GLM for a 4 block-design scan. Voxels significantly modulated by stimulus presentation in the occipital cortex with (p < 0.001) after cluster-based correction for multiple comparisons. Statistical analysis was performed with a GLM from 4 block-design scans (11 12-sec blocks of visual stim interleaved with 10 12-sec blocks of rest). The GLM regressors were formed by convolution of boxcar representing stimulus presentation with a simple gamma function $$$g(t) = t^q \cdot e^{-t} / (q^q \cdot e^{-q}), q=4 $$$
