fMRI duration after censoring computed as the number of good timepoints multiplied by the repetition time (TR). The red line corresponds to the QC cutoff of 5 minutes (300 seconds). Less than 5 minutes of fMRI is not enough to reliably estimate connectivity.
Density distributions of within-session FC strengths. The FC distribution from each session are overlaid.
QC-FC plots tested functional connectivity associations with three image quality metrics (fd_mean, fd_num, and fd_perc). Plots were generated from functional data from all sessions. Red dotted lines represent a theoretical artifact-free null-hypothesis distribution obtained through permutation analyses. QC-FC percent match level represents the distance between the observed and the null-hypothesis distribution and is computed using the R implementation of the two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for goodness of fit. Red label indicates that the QC-FC distribution did not reach above the 95% cutoff.
Correlation between QC-FC and Euclidean distance separating nodes. The euclidean distance is computed from the centers of mass of each region in the atlas used to compute the FC.
