1Using the interquartile range (IQR: 75th percentile minus 25th percentile), we define a mild outlier to be any point greater than the 75th percentile or less than the 25th percentile by an amount at least 1.5 times the IQR.

2Using the interquartile range (IQR: 75th percentile minus 25th percentile), we define an extreme outlier to be any point greater than the 75th percentile or less than the 25th percentile by an amount at least 3 times the IQR.

3Handedness is a bimodal distribution with a strong preference for right-handedness in the HCP cohort, thus labeling as extreme outliers a large number of individuals with strong left-hand dominance.
