Effects of tDCS of the DLPFC on brain networks: A hybrid brain modeling study
Fig 5
Dynamic functional connectivity changes in left DLPFC-tDCS protocol (F3a-Fp2c).
The sliding windows are divided into three phases. Phase 1: The window slides throughout the During-stimulation period. Phase 2: The window covers the transition from the During-stimulation to the Post-stimulation period. Phase 3: The window slides throughout the Post-stimulation period. In each phase, five time-varying FC matrices (depicted as small rectangles in the figure) are shown, where each FC matrix represents the statistical comparison using paired sample t-tests between the left DLPFC-tDCS protocol and the Without-tDCS condition. Only the FC in the left DLPFC-tDCS protocol that is significantly different from Without-tDCS (paired sample t-test) is colored, while the remaining are white. Warmer colors indicate an increase in FC, while cooler colors indicate a decrease in FC. Color bars indicate statistical t-values ().
