Similar to the methods reported in van Reekum et al. (2018), we used FSL's FAST algorithm (Zhang et al., 2001) to segment the high resolution T1-weighted image into grey matter, white matter, and CSF. We then normalised and blurred the GMP maps to the same extent as the functional data of interest. Cluster-wise GMP was extracted using the statistical ROIs from the FMRI regression analysis and associations between GMP and functional data (residualised for age and cross-sectional EF performance, per the performed voxel-wise search with rLEF), were assessed using Pearson correlations, with an alpha level of p < .05.
