Mean correlation of fibers calculated using the filtering method of ICV vs number of nodes in the fiber. Black and orange dots—mean correlation of 85 fibers of size < 25. Shape shows significance: black diamond—significant, orange circle—insignificant. Blue—mean of mean correlation of real fibers in black (smoothed with moving average). Green error bars—\(mean \pm 1.65 * SD\) of random fibers mean correlations. 1.65 corresponds to the p value of 0.05 as explained in Fig. 8. Red solid line—mean correlation of random fibers found using ICV. Red dashed line - mean correlation of the random fibers without filtering
