## Abstract Multiresolution analysis of fMRI studies using wavelets is a new approach, previously reported to yield higher sensitivity in the detection of activation areas. No data are available, however, in the literature on the analytic approach and wavelet bases that produce optimum results. The

Abstract
The contrastβtoβnoise ratio (CNR) is often very low in fMRI data, and standard univariate methods suffer from a loss of sensitivity in the context of noise. The increased power of a multivariate statistical analysis method known as canonical correlation analysis (CCA) in fMRI studies with low CNR was established previously. However, CCA in its conventional form has weak spatial specificity. In this work we propose a new assignment scheme to rectify this problem. It is shown that the new method has improved spatial specificity as well as sensitivity compared to conventional CCA for detecting activation patterns in fMRI. Magn Reson Med 52:947β952, 2004.
