Table 3. Dynamic functional connectivity patterns following left- and right-ear auditory stimulation.

Panels Stimulation Frequency band Connection Time (ms) t Cohen's d Direction

Connection labels, times, and t statistics correspond to the annotations in Figs. 3 and 4. Effect sizes are reported as magnitudes, |d| = |t| × √(1/n1 + 1/n2), where n1 = n2 = 30. Effect-size magnitudes were derived from the displayed t statistics, except for the OL–OR ripple-band connection in panel 4F at 100 ms, for which the unrounded t statistic was used. Increase and decrease indicate higher and lower connectivity, respectively, in patients with migraine relative to healthy controls. This table provides a descriptive summary of the figure annotations rather than an independent assessment of statistical significance. A1L, left auditory cortex; A1R, right auditory cortex; FL, left frontal lobe; FR, right frontal lobe; OL, left occipital lobe; OR, right occipital lobe.
