However, paired t -tests showed that task-related β-values during the post-acu VFT (β post ) were higher than those during the pre-acu VFT (β pre ) at these channels but did not reach statistical significance ( p > 0.05).

Correlations Between HAMD Scores and Cortical Activation The results of Pearson's correlation analysis showed that HAMD scores were positively correlated with the VFT-related Δβ (β post− β pre ) in channel 37 at a marginally significant level ( r = 0.344, FDR-corrected p = 0.072) in all the included patients ( Figure 6 ), as well as in ROI 1 ( r = 0.255, p = 0.087), but not in single-channel 26, 27, or 28 (FDR-corrected p > 0.05).
