Distribution of peak decoding performances for phonemes, syllables and morphemes aligned to word utterance onset. Significant differences in peak decoding timings across sample distribution are labelled in brackets above ( n = 50 random test/train splits; P = 0.024, 0.002 and 0.002; pairwise, two-sided permutation tests of differences in medians for phonemes versus syllables, syllables versus morphemes and phonemes versus morphemes, respectively; Methods ). Data are presented as median (dot) values +/- bootstrapped standard error of the median.
