If fMRIPrep is run with the --use-aroma argument is generates an independent component decomposition using FSL MELODIC [beckmann2004][10]. Such techniques have been thoroughly described elsewhere [griffanti2017][11], but in short AROMA is an ICA based procedure to identify confounding time series related to head-motion [prium2015][12]. Each component is mapped on a glass brain next to an indication of its frequency spectrum and its corresponding weight over time.

* Spin-history effects in ICA-AROMA : One recurring artifactual family of components emerges when motion interacts with interleaved acquisition giving rise to the so-called spin-history effects. The spin-history effects appear as parallel stripes covering the whole brain in one direction (see figure below). They are a consequence of the repetition time not being much larger than the T1 relaxation time in typical fMRI designs. This implies that the spins will not completely relax when the next acquisition starts <https://imaging.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/imaging/CommonArtefacts>. In addition, specific movements (e.g., rotation around one imaging axis, such as nodding) will exacerbate spin-history effects as slices will cut through the brain at different locations between consecutive BOLD time points. These two considerations combined mean that motion will produce spins with different excitation histories, and thus, the signal intensity will differ. Components showcasing parallel stripes concurring with slices in extreme poles of the brain or even across the whole brain are likely to capture these effects.
* Slice-timing artifacts in ICA-AROMA: A stripping pattern is visible and it matches alternative slices <https://neurostars.org/t/potential-issue-in-ica-aroma-report/4231/6>.
* Multi-band artifacts in ICA-AROMA: The multi-band artifact also appears as a stripping pattern, however their spacing do not match alternative slices <https://neurostars.org/t/potential-issue-in-ica-aroma-report/4231>. What you see resembles one band being acquired.
* Note that AROMA has not been trained on multiband data, so it is possible that some of the components showing multiband artifacts are classified as signal.

This section is a textual summary, containing the version of fMRIPrep, which command was run and the dates when the data were preprocessed. It is good to check that all of this information is as expected.
