Notes. Mean values represent the mean value in an average 10 s coded epoch. Between country differences are evaluated at p = 0.01 to correct for multiple comparisons (i.e., p < 0.05/5 = p = 0.01).
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
