Fig. 2: GSR results (n = 32) across noise conditions.

Box plots show the distribution of A mean tonic activity and B mean phasic activity, both in microsiemens. The phasic average is shown as a representative phasic measure, as all phasic metrics showed similar patterns. In both panels, red lines indicate the median, boxes represent the IQR, whiskers extend to 1.5×IQR, and individual dots represent participants’ data points.
