Counts of electrodes exhibiting each effect are shown separately for each frequency band and ROI. The “searching > goal-seeking” effect is denoted by “S > G” and the “goal-seeking > searching” effect is denoted by “G > S”. In the Electrode counts section of the table, at each region/frequency band, the number of electrodes exhibiting the S > G effect was compared with the number of electrodes exhibiting the G > S effect using a χ2 test. The “All Cells” column of the table indicates the total number of electrodes observed in each region. In the Searching-effect laterality section of the table, for region-frequency group, the counts of electrodes exhibiting the (S > G) effect were compared between the left and the right hemispheres (χ2 test). When this test indicated a significant difference, the appropriate table entry indicates the hemisphere where the effect was more prevalent.
