Individual functional connectivity matrices obtained with the explorative approach were used to compute (A–B) group averaged matrices and (C) a comparison between professional and naïve drivers via unpaired t-test (p < 0.05). Results showed a number of reinforced correlations in professional as compared to naïve drivers, mostly in prefrontal cortex (orbitofrontal cortex, superior frontal gyrus), basal ganglia and cingulate cortex. On the other hand, naïve drivers showed fewer stronger correlations, mostly between areas belonging to occipital and parietal lobes.
