Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow dynamics visualized in real time on Steady State Free Presession (SSFP) images,
with dark tags created by a background magnetic field gradient in the head-foot direction. Time plots of the tags
at a reference parenchyma location and three CSF locations are shown. Tag movements are indicative of CSF flow by
various physiological mechanisms, including cardiac and respiratory pulsations, as well as a "myoactive surge"
to the cranium. The low-frequency myoactive surge typically happens after a deep inspiration with a 11 s time delay,
consistent with a cerebral autoregulation mechanism involving CO2 effect and sympathetic activation.

Representative hypnogram for one subject from night 2 of an all-night EEG-fMRI sleep study.
Scoring was only performed during simultaneous EEG-fMRI acquisition. No instances of unscorable
data occurred in this subject. Arrows indicate experimenter (E) or subject (S)-request arousals
(Moehlman et al., 2019)
