Inter‐relatedness of neuroimaging findings and performance on the bistable percept paradigm. Graphical depiction of the inter‐related nature of the findings from the neuroimaging experiments and performance on the Bistable Percept Paradigm (BPP). The strengths of each connection reflect the relative connection between the two measures: (a) the volume of gray matter within the bilateral anterior insula (AI) is associated with a lower score on the BPP (r = −0.679, P < 0.005); (b) decreased gray matter in the AI is associated with an inability to recruit the Dorsal Attention Network (DAN) during the viewing of a bistable image (r = 0.467, P < 0.05); (c) decreased gray matter in the AI is also predictive of decreased resting state functional connectivity (RSFC) between hubs of the Ventral Attention Network (VAN) and the DAN (r = 0.440, P < 0.05); (d) there was a negative correlation between the BPP Error score and the functional connectivity between the left dACC and left FEF (r = −0.649, P < 0.01), along with the right dACC and the bilateral FEF (left: r = −0.492, P < 0.05; right: r = −0.506, P < 0.05); and (e) the degree of impaired functional connectivity between the VAN and the DAN also predicted the decrease in the BOLD signal in the DAN during the viewing of either a monostable (r = 0.457, P < 0.05) or a bistable (r = 0.520, P < 0.05) image.
