q2 i? A one-standard-deviation increase in the Shannon entropy of the nondominant eye's pupil diameter was associated with a 4.68-point decrease in Dots and Needles performance score (p = 0.01). → Shafiei 2024

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Linear random intercept regression for Dots and Needles performance (66 attempts, 26 subjects; subject random effect p = 0.005, pseudo R2 = 0.75). The table also lists average search information in BA 37 at gamma-band frequencies with estimate −1.35 (p = 0.0001). Only regression estimates and p-values are printed, so no standardized effect size.

"In addition, a one-standard deviation increase in the entropy of the nondominant eye's pupil diameter was associated with a 4.68-point decrease in performance score."
