Alternating samples gave smaller cortical connectivity differences than consecutive halves in 20 ds006192 movie runs after filtering of each complete run

We tested whether sample assignment changes cortical connectivity agreement in 20 movie fMRI runs from ten participants. The source was OpenNeuro ds006192 version 1.0.0. Its regional signals had been filtered over each complete run. Both split methods used equal sample counts and the same rows. For 100 cortical regions, the mean RMS difference between Fisher z edge values was 0.00476 for alternating rows and 0.23082 for consecutive halves. The paired difference was 0.22605, with a 95% participant bootstrap interval of 0.21940 to 0.23393. All ten participant contrasts were positive. The difference became much smaller with ten time blocks. Its interval included zero with four blocks. A proof shows equal alternating-part correlation matrices for even periodic signals with Fourier support strictly below one quarter of the sample rate. An independent-channel control met this condition and gave almost exact agreement despite finite-record estimation error. The source Butterworth filter does not meet the strict limit exactly. The proof does not identify the full cause of the observed fMRI difference. Alternating agreement alone cannot establish stability across separate recordings. The package preserves 335 verified source files, code, all planned results, exact split assignments, bootstrap draws, and figures. Offline and fresh-source builds reproduced all 15 numerical result files exactly.

    Its EEG result motivated a comparison of alternating samples and consecutive halves at equal sample counts. This study tests movie fMRI with a different connectivity measure. It reuses no input data or code from that publication.
