  • Statistical treatment for significant differences by a paired t test. Data with asterisk were obtained by a Wilcoxon signed rank test for samples that were not normally distributed. The smallest significant differences of relative values below and above the maximal responses (indicated in bold) are shown for each paradigm. Due to the small sample sizes, we considered differences as significant at values of p ≤ 0.1 in order to avoid errors that can occur at small sample sizes due to large SDs. Data with two asterisks showed no significant differences referred to the maximal response as data were not normally distributed or had a high SD. For these data, we show the smallest significant differences below and above the nearest value to the maximum.
