*

Statistically significant correlation (applied Bonferroni–Holm correction); 10s-1, 10s-2, and 10s-3 denote the first, second, and third group, of 10 s recordings, 30s-1 and 30s-2 the first and second group, of 30 s recordings, 60s the group of 60 s recordings, avg10s the average of all 10 s recordings, and avg30s the average of all 30 s recordings.
