Permutation testing and the canonical relationship between interhemispheric inhibition and bimanual coordination outcomes. (A) Permutation testing of the correlation coefficients (r) in musicians (upper panel) and non-musicians (lower panel). X axis: r value in each permutation; y axis: number of permutation occurring in a given r value range; solid black line: original r value in musicians (r = 0.62); dashed gray line: original r value in non-musicians (r = 0.32). The chance of the permutated r values larger than the original r values was less than 5% (500 out of 10,000 times) only in musicians. (B) Canonical relationship in musicians. Canonical variate U: speed, accuracy, evenness, and number on the x axis. Canonical variate V: iSP-L and iSP-R on the y axis. Correlation equation: 1.38 × iSP-L − 0.29 × iSP-R = −1.16 × Speed - 0.45 × Accuracy + 1.49 × Evenness + 0.38 × Number. Significant canonical relationship was found (r = 0.62, p = 0.02) between bimanual coordination and IHI outcomes.
