Figure 2.

The results averaged over subjects. The asterisks show statistically significant differences between different conditions after the post-hoc tests. Error bars show ± standard-error-of-the-means calculated over datasets. Vertical axes are dimensionless and show the differences with respect to the baseline. T₁, T₂, T₃, T₄, and T₅ refer to time intervals (in ms) [−200, −100], [−100, 0], [15, 115], [115, 215], and [215, 315], respectively. (A,B) SV at different time intervals averaged over all datasets and averaged over only those with noise masking, respectively. (C,D) MSS at different time intervals averaged over all datasets and averaged over only those with noise masking, respectively. The curvy arrow lines indicate that, with MSS, all the time intervals are compared to T₁.
