Hybrid ICA-Seed-Based Methods for fMRI Functional Connectivity Assessment: A Feasibility Study

Table 2

Experiment : mean percentages of thresholded task-related GLM maps that are covered by thresholded FC maps generated with each hybrid ICA-seed-based method. The right-most column gives percentages after adjusting the z-score used to threshold the FC maps up or down so that number of false positives equals number of false negatives.
