They compared motion effects on functional connectivity across subjects (trait) and across days within subjects (state), and tested data cleaning strategies.","gist":"Using Human Connectome Project data, the study finds that many behavioural measures correlate with head motion, and that cleaning data for motion alters reported links between brain connectivity and behaviour.","meaning":"People who move more in the scanner may differ systematically in traits such as intelligence or weight. If a person's day-to-day motion changes connectivity in the same way as differences between people, motion could produce brain-behaviour links that are not real. This matters for how studies linking brain connectivity to behaviour are designed and interpreted.","findings":["23 of 122 behavioural, demographic and physiological measures, including fluid intelligence, reading ability, weight and psychiatric diagnostic scales, correlate with head motion.","Trait and state effects of motion on functional connectivity are remarkably similar, suggesting head motion is a likely source of systematic bias in connectivity-behaviour measurements.","Data cleaning strategies reduce the influence of head motion and substantially alter previously reported connectivity-behaviour relationships."],"terms":[{"term":"functional connectivity (FC)","means":"A measure of how closely the activity of different brain regions rises and falls together over time."},{"term":"trait effect","means":"A difference that is stable between individuals, found by comparing different people."},{"term":"state effect","means":"A change within the same person from one occasion to another, here from one day to the next."}],"basis":"abstract","abstractFrom":"europepmc","model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","writtenAt":"2026-10-20T11:01:04.861Z","version":"context/0.2"},"summary":{"status":"written","at":"2026-10-20T11:01:04.861Z","attempts":1,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","why":null},"note":"Machine-written context to help a reader: it is not evidence, it moves no number, and it may be wrong.
