Dynamic changes in large-scale functional connectivity prior to stimulation determine performance in a multisensory task by Edgar E. Galindo-Leon, Karl J. Hollensteiner, Florian Pieper, Gerhard Engler, Guido Nolte, Andreas K. Engel

“…An analysis of principal components in coupling at the single-trial level during this period allowed us to reveal the subnetworks that most strongly determined performance. Whereas higher global phase coupling of visual and auditory regions to parietal cortex was predictive of task performance, a second component revealed a reduction in coupling between subnetworks of different sensory modalities, probably to allow a better detection of the unimodal signals. …”
