“…Fourth, larger trial numbers are optimal for connectivity estimates to attenuate variability and possible biases in increased connectivity; however, data acquisition is challenging in developmental populations, especially in those with neurodevelopmental disorders, limiting the number of non-target trials post-artifact rejection that were included in the present analyses ( Pang, 2011 , Taylor and Pang, 2014 , Puce and Hämäläinen, 2017 ). We chose a 20 non-target trial per emotion threshold, consistent with previous MEG/EEG studies ( Márquez-García et al, 2022 , Fogelson et al, 2019 , Naumann et al, 2018 ), to maximize the number of participants included in the analyses and to avoid biasing our population towards those who are older and higher-functioning. Lastly, MEG data from all participants were recorded in the supine position, which minimizes head movement and stabilizes the head in the MEG dewar facilitating data collection in developmental populations.…”
