Table 2. Summary of specificity and sensitivity.

Summary of conclusions: sensitivity and specificity. A ‘good’ rating (+) denotes that the EMG-residualized data in the ROI of interest are equivalent to the expected “ideal” results (i.e., high sensitivity for removing EMG artifact from the myogenic ROI, high specificity for preserving alpha-band activity in the neurogenic ROI), whereas a ‘poor’ rating (−) is achieved if the residualized data in the ROI significantly deviate from the expected results. If the method does not satisfy either of these criteria, it is marked as ‘indeterminate’ (o). The OR-OT contrast (eyes open, relaxed minus tense) used a different method for addressing specificity that employed a chi-squared test to determine whether a non-trivial number of channels reach significance outside of the EMG-ROI after EMG-correction, so this region is shaded to signal this difference.
