I = ipsilateral to seizure focus; C = contralateral to seizure focus; FC = functional connectivity between the two regions; vol = volume in mm3; corr = Pearson’s correlation ;

#

denotes that the β is multiplied by the FC value (Z value) or the volume in mm3;

*

denotes two sample t-test with n = 25 (training group) used for this calculation;

**

denotes paired t-test with n = 11 (TLE only in training group) used for this calculation; 95% confidence interval of control-patients or ipsi-contra in []
