observed synchrony scores outside of 95% of surrogate data distribution

due to data limitations, only 155 surrogate data points were used to created these values

Note. WSize is the size of the windows used in a windowed cross-correlation of these data sources and τMax is the maximum lag value for the same windowed cross-correlation. Effect sizes appear in parentheses and are calculated as (observed synchrony value - surrogate distribution mean). Participant shuffling for motion capture data uses fewer surrogate data points due to the data set only containing 155 interacting pairs.
