a DVARS calculated prior to wavelet despiking.

b DVARS calculated on motion time series after wavelet despiking. Large decreases indicate wavelet despiking was effective in mitigating head motion confounds.

* Mean FD was significantly greater in the child group compared to each other age group (p < 0.05, Tukey’s honest significant difference corrected for multiple comparisons). A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted between groups for mean DVARS before wavelet despiking (Mean DVARS a ) and again between groups after wavelet despiking (Mean DVARS b ), with no significant differences observed in either test (p > 0.05). Note FD is calculated prior to our motion correction procedure while the final DVARS values (Mean DVARs b ) are calculated after our motion correction procedure.

DVARS, root mean square derivative of fMRI timeseries; F, Female; FD, framewise displacement; SD, standard deviation.
