Figure Lengend Snippet: Premotor reaction time (RT) as a function of experimental trial type. A: boxplots of participant mean RT in control [non-startling acoustic stimulus (non-SAS): 80-dB stimulus] and SAS trials, where SCM− represents SAS trials where no startle response in sternocleidomastoid (SCM) was elicited and SCM+ represents SAS trials where a startle response in SCM was elicited. Box boundaries show the first and third quartiles, whereas the thick line shows the median. Whiskers show the minimum and maximum values within 1.5 times the interquartile range, and small circles show values outside this range (outliers). *P < 0.05, significant differences between conditions detected using linear mixed effects (LME) analysis and Tukey’s method for multiple comparisons. B: individual data points used in the linear mixed effects analysis of RT as a function of trial type. Line shows fitted LME model and 95% confidence interval (n = 12). Note 3 data points >250 ms were omitted in the control condition.
