Using consecutive interleaved multi-shot EPI scheme (ciEPI) with minimal intersegment delay and parallel imaging is one of methods to obtain less-distorted images. Recently, multiple stimulus-driven retinotopic maps were introduced using conventional EPI schemes in the previous study. In a present paper, a retinotopic response is observed by visual stimuli through ciEPI schemes with high-resolution at 7T.
