From: The timing of spontaneous eye blinks in text reading suggests cognitive role
(a) Results of analysis 1: the impact of text position on relative blink proportion. Boxplot with midlines showing the median and box limits indicating the first and third quartile of relative blinks proportions per position of interest. The whiskers extend to the minimum and maximum value, with the exception of outliers. Lines connect blink proportions across different positions for a given participant, thereby illustrating the variation and trends in blink rates. Each coloured dot represents one participant. Four out of 6 pairwise contrasts were significant, *** = p < .001. (b) Results of follow-up analysis 1: differentiating different punctuation marks. Boxplot with midlines showing the median and box limits indicating the first and third quartile of relative blinks proportions per position of interest. The whiskers extend to the minimum and maximum value, with the exception of outliers. Lines connect blink proportions across different positions for a given participant, thereby illustrating the variation and trends in blink rates. Each coloured dot represents one participant. All pairwise contrasts including the Residual category were significant, *** = p < .001.
