Relationship between mean network connectivity values (z scores) in the alpha band in the Inhibition condition of the Go/No-go task and Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function, Adult Version (BRIEF-A) self-reported t scores on the Inhibit scale. Mean alpha-band network connectivity inversely predicted BRIEF-A Inhibit scale scores (b = −5.09, B = −0.33, p = 0.042), such that participants who had greater connectivity in this network when inhibiting a prepotent response reported fewer problems with inhibition in everyday life. Mean network connectivity values were derived from the network in which adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) demonstrated decreased connectivity compared to controls between 0 and 400 ms, post stimulus onset, for the Inhibition greater than Vigilance condition in the alpha band. Solid lines represent the regression line for each group, while the dashed line signifies the regression line for the sample as a whole
