Fig. 6. Between-state comparison of sensory angles (movie-watching vs. resting-state).
a Polar and surface mapping of the sensory integration model under the resting-state and movie-watching condition. The labels V, S, and A mark the anchoring angles for visual (0°), somatosensory (120°), and auditory (240°) modalities. b Group-averaged difference of sensory angles between movie-watching and resting-state, the clusters with black outlines were the significantly different areas. Warm colors indicate the angle during movie-watching changes anticlockwise relative to the angle of resting-state, cool colors mean the opposite. c Polar plots display the distribution patterns of the significantly different areas between two brain states, while box plots show the comparisons of the averaged sensory parameters within each area. For the boxplots, the middle line represents the median, while the box’s upper and lower limits correspond to the 75th and 25th percentiles, respectively. The whiskers extend up to 1.5 times the interquartile range from the upper and lower box limits. Any data points beyond the whiskers are considered outliers and plotted as individual points.
