This is the description of the data used in the meta-analysis investigating biological motion perception in \\ autism spectrum disorder. Authors: Todorova, G. K., Hatton, R. E. M. & Pollick, F.E. (2019) Date: 21/11/2019 file: fmri.txt Contains fMRI coordinates from papers that use emotion and non-emotion related biological motion \\ paradigms. N = 8 For each paper it is reported: - first author - year of publication - record of paper in the review process - the type of paradigm - contract obtained i.e NT > ASD - number of subects - fMRI coordinates file: fmri_not_used.txt Contains fMRI coordinates from papers that were not used in the analysis \\ paradigms. N = 8 For each paper it is reported: - first author - year of publication - record of paper in the review process - the type of paradigm - contract obtained i.e NT > ASD - number of subects - fMRI coordinates ####################################################################################################### fMRI analysis was done usin GingerALE v3.0.2 (Eickhoff, Bzdok, Laird, Kurth & Fox, 2012; \\ Eickhoff et al., 2009; Turkeltaub et al. 2012) Eickhoff

 \\ 2012. Visualisation was done using Mango v4.1 (rii.uthscsa.edu/mango) ########################################################################################################## file: behavioural.csv Contains the extracted information for each study For papers that reporte dgroup characheteristics separately \\ but then reported only one effect, the reported characteristics \\ i.e. IQ (FSIQ, NVIQ, VIQ), age, etc, were averaged between the 2 groups \\ - (IQ1 + IQ2)/2. The dataset includes (column names): - Study and year ( 1st name et al.) - outcome - numbered outcomes per study - study ID - record of paper in review process - Study - study index - nASD - number of ASD participants - nTD - number of NT participants - %females.asd - percentage of females in the sample (0 - all male) - %females.td - percentage of females in the sample (0 - all male) - age_asd - age of ASD sample - age_cat_ASD_TD - combined age category for the study (1: <=13; 2: >13 & <=19; 3: >19) - age_cat_asd - age category for the ASD sample (1: <=13; 2: >13 & <=19; 3: >19) - fsiq_asd - Full-Scale IQ for ASD sample - nviq_asd - Non-verbal IQ for ASD sample - viq_asd - Verbal IQ for ASD sample - age_td - age of NT sample - age_cat_td - age category for the NTsample (1: <=13; 2: >13 & <=19; 3: >19) - fsiq_td - Full-Scale IQ for NT sample - nviq_td - Non-verbal IQ for NT sample - viq_td - Verbal IQ for NT sample - Other tests - outcomes from different tests such as chi-squares - t-test - t-values from comparion between the two groups - m.asd - mean performance for ASD - sd.asd - standard deviation of the mean for ASD - m.td - mean performance for NT - sd.td - standard deviation of the mean for NT - cohen'sd - Cohen's d if reported - outcome__type type of outcome detected (1: sensitivity index - d' 2: thresholds 3: accuracy 4: error rates) - paradigm - tyep of paradigm (1: biological motion detection in noise; 2: biological motion recognition in comparison to other stimuli; 3: action recognition/categorisation; 4: Emotion recognition/categorisation; NOTE: category 1 and 2 were merged in the analysis) - stimuli - type of stimuli use (1: point-light display or stick figures; 2: full-light display) - type of study - 1: primary study (used as a check that studies were appropriate) 2: Eye-tracking paradigm 3: EEG paradigm 4: fMRI study - ASD>TD=1, ASD
