Group Comparison for Critical Coupling Value. Boxplots displaying the distribution of the critical coupling values for the control subjects (n = 38, median = 1.1674, IQR = 0.3055), generalised epilepsies (n = 25, median = 0.9152, IQR = 0.3843) and focal epilepsies (n = 43, median = 0.6520, IQR = 0.6170): the box is spanned by the first quartile to the third quartile (interquartile range IQR), with the median (bold line) situated within. Whiskers above and below the box show the location of the largest and smallest value within 1.5 times the IQR, and suspected outliers are depicted as stars. Mann-Whitney U tests rejects the null-hypothesis that the critical coupling for the focal and generalised epilepsies have the same distribution as the controls (Controls – Generalised: p = 0.0041, U = 703; Controls – Focal: p < 0.0001, U = 1261; medians, two-tailed, p < 0.05, Bonferroni correction: x3).
