The surfstat toolbox for Matlab60 was used for structural covariance network analysis, as in previous studies61,62. There is a well-established negative correlation between age and cortical thickness60 and gender also influences cortical thickness61. Consequently, these variables were included as ...
giving individuals the opportunity to take a short break within the scanner after every third block. To minimise fatigue, all participants left the scanner after the acquisition phase (~23 to 40 min) for a period of 5 to 10 min. During the transfer phase, each block consisted of 24 t...
Data were first inspected for distributional properties using the box plot function of SPSS with extreme outliers identified according to the default criteria (2 box lengths the interquartile range). No outliers were identified; therefore, all data were retained for statistical analysis. Groups completi...
The global prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is estimated to be approximately 0.6% [1]. However, the prevalence of autism varies greatly based on country, with a reported rate of 1.89% in Korea [2]. The heterogeneous nature of autism symptoms may account for the discrepancies in ...
The EEG analysis was performed using custom MATLAB code and functions from the EEGLAB Toolbox [109]. The data were first re-referenced against the average mastoids, highpass filtered above 0.05 Hz, notch filtered to remove line noise using Cleanline, and resampled to 250 Hz. Eye-blinks were...
Thus, the generated images (usually called Deep Dream) provide information related to what the black box model had learnt for a particular class or category in the dataset [83]. In this work, the Deep Dream images associated with the different classes, for both categorical and VAD models, ar...
Second, we preprocessed the extracted data using MATLAB toolbox EEGLAB version 14.1.2b [28]. We applied a low-pass filter at 35 Hz to the EEG signals, and the signals were divided into 1-s epochs. Epochs with artifacts at any time step were removed with a rejection threshold of ±100...
