Fig. 5: Correlation between HDR and AQ subscales in children.

For all panels, values in the x-axis are multiplied for ×10^4. The ρ (rho) index in each plot indicates the Spearman correlation value. A, B Correlations between HDR and AQ Social Skills (AQ_S) subscale. A significant correlation between THb and AQ_S was detected using both high- (A) and low-contrast blended stimuli (B; p < 0.05 for both cases). In addition, OHb recorded in response to the low-contrast blended RS-cartoon was significantly correlated with AQ_S (B; p < 0.05). C, D Correlations between HDR and AQ Communication (AQ_C) subscale. THb amplitude in response to the high-contrast blended RS-cartoon was significantly correlated with AQ_C (p < 0.05). Circles are individual values; lines represent the linear regression model fit and shaded regions are the 95% CI.
