A two-way MANOVA was applied to the task reference and resting EO θ power, with the average pre-stimulus reference θ power across all three stimulus types used as the task reference θ power in the analysis. The reference θ power measures were derived from the STFT-based TFRs, so that they could be directly compared with the FT-based resting θ power measures. The θ power measures at the MESOIs were the multiple dependent variables, with group (NACs vs. LTAAs) as the between-subjects variable and condition (resting vs. task) as the repeated-measures variable.
