Table 1. Summary statistics and post-hoc tests.

On the left side of the table, means and standard deviations are listed for each microstate by parameter tested (duration, occurrence, coverage, or explained variance) and by experimental condition (eyes-closed (EC) or eyes-open (EO) and rest (R) or task (SS for serial subtraction)). On the right side of the table, p values from the corresponding paired-samples t-tests are reported. Significant values (p<0.0063, Bonferroni Corrected) are displayed in bold.
