  1. For the sake of readability, only significant comparisons are given. All results can be obtained from the analyses notebook provided.
  2. A, B = odor sets for comparison, mean(A), mean(B) = mean value of this dimension for this odor set,
  3. diff = difference between means, df = degrees of freedom, p-corr = corrected p-values, hedges = hedges effect size;
  4. Significance marked according to *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
