Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: The assumption of noise stationarity in the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data analysis may lead to the loss of crucial dynamic features of the data and thus result in inaccurate activation detection. , a Bayesian approach is proposed to analyze the fMRI data with two nonstationary noise models (the time-varying variance noise model and the fractional noise model). The covariance matrices of the time-varying variance noise and the fractional noise after wavelet transform are diagonal matrices. This property is investigated under the Bayesian framework. The Bayesian estimator not only gives an accurate estimate of the ights in general linear model, but also provides posterior probability of activation in a voxel and, hence, avoids the limitations (i.e., using only hypothesis testing) in the classical methods. The performance of the proposed Bayesian methods (under the assumption of different noise models) are compared with the ordinary least squares (OLS) and the ighted least squares (WLS) methods. Results from the simulation studies validate the superiority of the proposed approach to the OLS and WLS methods considering the complex noise structures in the fMRI data.
