TL;DR
Preprocessing of the raw data before the application of test statistics helps to extract the signal and thus can vastly improve signal detection.
Abstract
When studying complex cognitive tasks using functional magnetic resonance (fMR) imaging one often encounters weak signal responses. These weak responses are corrupted by noise and artifacts of various sources. Preprocessing of the raw data before the application of test statistics helps to extract the signal and thus can vastly improve signal detection. The authors discuss artifact sources and algorithms to handle them. Experiments with simulated and real data underline the usefulness of this preprocessing sequence.

17,980 Citations1984Stuart Geman, Donald Geman
The analogy between images and statistical mechanics systems is made and the analogous operation under the posterior distribution yields the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimate of the image given the degraded observations, creating a highly parallel ``relaxation'' algorithm for MAP estimation.
