  • MNI coordinates represent estimated locus of peak sensitivity. χ2 statistic results from likelihood ratio tests between full model and reduced model with only random effects during the a priori time window of interest. pN are p-values from permutation tests (α = 0.0125). It is important to note that the actual cortical sources for each channel are likely more medial in the infant brain compared with the estimates derived from a mature brain model here.
