Fig. 2: Visualization of the change in the connectivity profile within left hemisphere’s S1 during the Hariri task as a function of the Vineland-II Daily Living scores.
In a we visualize the reconstructions of the connectopies that correspond to the three evenly spread selected points across the Vineland-II Daily Living scale highlighted in (c). The arrow indicates the direction towards which the Vineland-II Daily Living scores increase - reflecting higher functioning. The gradients’ color range varies along this increase in the functioning scale which is illustrated by a raincloud visualization shifting its max value more towards the extreme of the color range in each of the reconstructions. We further illustrate in b the TSM-reconstructed average S1 connectopy of the left hemisphere during the Hariri task, in c the scatterplots of the two TSM coefficients z2 and z4 reconstructing the S1 connectopies and which were found to be significantly associated with Vineland-II Daily Living scores, and in d the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) between the reconstructed S1 connectopy of each of the three aforementioned selected points from Vineland-II Daily Living scale and the average S1 reconstructed connectopy. The decrease of RSME observed with the increase of the Vineland-II Daily Living scores demonstrates how similar the S1 connectopy gets with the average one as the individuals’ functioning gets higher.
