Fig. 7: The external validation of novelty–CPM and appropriateness–CPM on task-fMRI.

a Predicted vs observed novelty ratings Spearman correlations, and mean null correlations, within each held-out participant. The last bar (far right) indicates the mean across individuals (i.e., mean across white bars; n = 31). At the group level, predicted vs observed correlations were significantly greater than mean null correlations (p = 0.047, one-tailed, Wilcoxon signed-rank test). b Same as (a), except for the CPM prediction of appropriateness and appropriateness ratings. CPM connectome-based predictive model. *p < 0.05. Error bars indicate the standard error of the mean. Source data are provided as a Supplementary Data file.
