There is an increased interest in the dynamics of brain functional connectivity, as measured via temporal covariance in resting-state fMRI BOLD signal, and its aberrations in brain disorders. We studied and compared two measures of regional dynamic behaviour, flexibility and variability, across two datasets and show that patients diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder show increased dynamic connectional variability in several brain regions. Furthermore, we establish an interesting association between static and dynamic functional connectivity measures.
