Table 1. Statistical tests comparing baseline-corrected performance in Sham and Stimulation sessions for the various types of control trials in the main experiment, laid out as in Figure 7A.

Each cell represents results of a Wilcoxon rank test with 19 degrees of freedom. Note that the primary comparisons of interest (left vs. right spatial attention for continuous stimuli during rIPS alpha stimulation; results shown in light gray) were already discussed in Section 2.3. For these conditions, results are corrected for multiple comparisons. Uncorrected statistics are reported for the remaining control conditions.
