Noise Pareidolia Test illusory responses

1. Dementia with Lewy bodies increase Noise Pareidolia Test illusory responses in humans (Cohen's d = 1.63).

   “more illusory responses on the Noise Pareidolia Test than PD (Cohen's d = 1.63).”

1. Noise Pareidolia Test illusory responses are associated with lateral occipital seed-based visual functional connectivity in humans (r = -0.69, p = 0.02).

   “Moreover, increased illusory responses were associated with reduced connectivity between the lateral occipital seed and a large ventral visual stream cluster during passive movie viewing ( r = ‐0.69, p = 0.02).”

1. Multi-Modality Unusual Sensory Experiences Questionnaire score is associated with Noise Pareidolia Test illusory responses in humans (r = 0.65, p = 0.0007).

   “Across all groups, MUSEQ scores were significantly positively correlated with number of illusory responses ( r = 0.65, p = 0.0007).”
