Note: P = Play episode; SF1 = Still-Face episode 1; SF2 = Still-Face episode 2; TTOT = total respiratory cycle time; VT = tidal volume; RSA = respiratory sinus arrhythmia; logRSA/VTc = logarithm of RSA normalized by VT (logarithm(RSA/VT)+1), adjusted for TTOT; HR = heart rate.

p-level of both t-tests for each index are Bonferroni-adjusted in this subgroup.
