Overview of different behavioral indices used to describe perception performance and to quantify APC

Abbreviation Formula Description Properties
NTV NTV = arg(f = 0.75 * max_d_prime) Number of noise dots in the mask with preserved biological motion detection. Higher NTV reflects better performance.
No relation between test and baseline condition (4 values per participant).
IntIdx
IntIdx=ln(NTVtestNTVbaseline)
Quantifies the relationship between test and baseline condition. No influence of motor execution on perception: IntIdx = 0
Susceptible to dual task effects (two values per participant and patient). Facilitatory influence of motor execution on perception: IntIdx > 0
Inhibitory influence of motor execution on perception: IntIdx < 0
APCIdx APCIdx = IntIdxsynchronousIntIdxasynchronous Unifies the IntIdx for both delay conditions resulting in one value to quantify the APC that is needed for the lesion symptom mapping. Unaffected APC: APCIdx ≥ 0
Unaffected by dual task effects (one value per participant and patient). Affected APC: APCIdx < 0
