Raincloud plots of the N200 power are presented at various frequencies and locations. The left portion of each subplot is a violin plot highlighting the distribution of the data. A box plot is at the center, marking the data median (center line), 1st and 3rd quartiles (whiskers = 1.5 * quartile ranges), and means (black triangle). The raw datapoints are presented to the right. Data are analyzed with the results of the linear mixed-effect models. EEG source imaging of V5 reveals a significant amplification of the N200 theta and alpha power for tFUS-GC modulation compared to decoupled-sham, non-modulated, and tFUS-GP control conditions. There is also significant damping of the decoupled-sham compared to the non-modulated condition. In beta and gamma frequencies, tFUS-GC exhibits amplified power compared to the non-modulated and decoupled-sham conditions, but not tFUS-GP. EEG source imaging of the superior parietal lobe shows significant N200 theta and alpha amplification in the tFUS-GC condition compared with the non-modulated, decoupled-sham, and tFUS-GP conditions. In beta and gamma frequency ranges, this amplification is only observed compared to the non-modulated. tFUS-GC is not significantly amplified compared to any of the control conditions in IT across any of the frequency ranges. One-tailed z-test key false-discovery rate adjustment: *padjusted < 0.05, **padjusted < 0.01, ***padjusted < 0.001, **** padjusted < 0.0001. Source data are provided within the Source Data file.
