- Claim ID
- connectivity-interpretation
- Assertion
- The commenters argue that the study's 'significant connections' were relative comparisons between groups, so fewer such connections do not show weaker overall neural activity, and that lower connectivity may reflect attention shifts, strategy changes, or lower motivation rather than reduced cognitive engagement.
- Quote
Therefore, no direct conclusions could be drawn regarding the absolute strength of the connections. Thus, a group with fewer significant connections should not necessarily be interpreted as exhibiting weaker overall neural activity. [...] However, lower connectivity does not necessarily indicate reduced cognitive engagement. Variability in connectivity (in theta and alpha bands) may indicate differences in attention shifts, changes in strategy, or simply lower motivation.
