Correlations between symptomatology in the ASD group, beta-band connectivity and behavioural performance during visual crowding. (A) Scatter plot showing the relationship between individual accuracy rate in the strong crowding condition and ASD symptomatology as measured by the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) score (Current version) (a significant correlation emerged also for the mid crowding condition; see Results). (B) Scatter plot showing the relationship between individual occipital-temporal beta-band functional connectivity indexes (average PLV) and ASD symptomatology as measured by SCQ score. (C) Scatter plot showing the relationship between individual occipital-temporal beta-band connectivity and behavioural performance (i.e. accuracy rate) in the strong crowding condition. For the correlation analysis in (B), the effect of chronological age has been controlled for, whereas for the correlation analyses in (A) and (C) both the effect of chronological age and performance in the baseline task condition have been controlled for.
