Subclaims¶

q3 i? The composite P3N1 latency index increased by 25.52 ms in BMM sessions (p < 0.05), reflecting a larger temporal separation between early sensory encoding and later evaluative processing. → Huang 2026 q3 i2 Channel-level ANCOVA showed significant group effects on the P3N1 latency index at F3 (η2 = 0.083) and Fp2 (η2 = 0.092), with a borderline effect at Fz (η2 = 0.066). → Huang 2026 (2)

q3 · i? · causal · r2

ERP latency analysis of participant-level grand averages (16 channels) in the 18-day BMM study; P3 latency delayed ~14.5 ms and N1 advanced ~10.9 ms, so "P3N1 latency (LL) increased by 25.52 ms in BMM sessions (p < 0.05)".

"Combining these changes, the composite timing metric P3N1 latency (LL) increased by 25.52 ms in BMM sessions (p < 0.05), as shown in Fig. 2D–F, indicating a larger temporal separation between early sensory encoding and later evaluative processing after training."

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

Channel-level ANCOVA on post-test P3N1 latency controlling pre-test values, over frontal electrodes. Effects were "observed at F3, F = 5.164, p = 0.027, η2 = 0.083, and Fp2, F = 5.785, p = 0.019, η2 = 0.092".

"signi ficant effects were observed at F3, F = 5.164, p = 0.027, η2 = 0.083, and Fp2, F = 5.785, p = 0.019, η2 = 0.092, with a borderline signi ficant effect at Fz, F = 4.011, p = 0.050, η2 = 0.066"
