Table 1. Statistical description of quality metrics (mean±s.e.) from two MRI sessions. Two-tailed paired t-tests were used to compare the means from the two sessions.

Modality Metric Session 1 Session 2 Paired t-test
Note: The statistics for rfMRI metrics were calculated after removing the outlier participant 0025932. SNR: signal-noise-ratio; FWHM: full-width half maximum; CNR: Contrast-to-noise ratio; FBER: Foreground to Background Energy Ratio; Mean FD: Mean frame-wise displacement; DVARS: D, temporal derivative of time series, VARS, root-mean-square variance over voxels.
