They compared correlations with and without this correction.","gist":"The study tested whether default-mode anti-correlations survive when cardiac and respiratory noise is modelled and removed instead of the global signal, finding they largely do and that correction also changed positive correlations.","meaning":"Earlier reports of opposing activity between the default-mode network and task-positive regions all relied on global signal removal, which can itself create negative correlations. This claim concerns whether such anti-correlations show up in individual people without that step. If it holds, the anti-correlation is less likely to be purely an artefact of that processing choice, which matters for how resting-state brain networks are interpreted.","findings":["Physiological noise correction increased the spatial extent and magnitude of negative correlations, giving group-level negative correlations in task-positive regions at p<0.05 uncorrected, though none were significant at FDR=0.05.","Physiological noise correction caused region-specific decreases in positive correlations within the default-mode network, reducing apparent false positives.","The slow respiratory volume and cardiac rate regressors shared significant but not total variance with the global signal, so they offer a model-based alternative for correcting non-neural global noise."],"terms":[{"term":"default-mode network","means":"A set of brain regions whose activity tends to be higher during rest and inward-focused thought than during demanding tasks."},{"term":"task-positive network","means":"A collection of brain regions commonly recruited during demanding cognitive tasks."},{"term":"physiological noise correction","means":"Processing that models and removes signal fluctuations in brain scans caused by heartbeat and breathing rather than neural activity."}],"basis":"abstract","abstractFrom":"europepmc","model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","writtenAt":"2026-10-17T01:46:15.722Z","version":"context/0.2"},"summary":{"status":"written","at":"2026-10-17T01:46:15.722Z","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.
