Comparison of average global GBC, average GBC in sensory areas, average GBC in association areas, average synchrony and average metastability for reduced global coupling (from 95% to 60% in steps of 5%). Shown are the mean differences, i.e. the mean of the default condition minus the respective reduced global coupling condition and in brackets the effect size (Hedge’s g). The mean in each condition is calculated over the 40 virtual subjects. Significant differences, i.e. a permutation p value of< 0.001, are highlighted in bold. Permutation tests were performed using 5,000 permutations of labels.
