Summary metrics from the four dynamic connectivity states in relation to autistic traits. Mean dwell
time (MDT) represents how long an individual spends in a given state on average, and fraction of
time (FT) is the summed total time spent in a given state over the course of the measurement period.
Positive beta coefficient (β) indicates that higher levels of autistic traits are associated with more time
spent in a particular state; whereas negative beta coefficient (β) indicate lower levels of autistic traits
are associated with more time spent in a particular state. Bar graphs indicate the unstandardized beta
coefficients (β) with standard error (S.E.) from regression models, and Asterisks (*) indicate the results
survived the false discovery rate (FDR) multiple comparison correction threshold of pFDR = 0.05. The
rendering brain maps are showing modularized positive (red) and negative (blue) connectivity for the
corresponding dynamic states.
