DATA & FILE OVERVIEW
--------------------

This dataset contains:

Exp1c_Results.xlsx
Readme.txt


The data includes a file: Exp1c_Results.xlsx. The file contains results of various trials and comparing their treatments and difference between frequencies.

The difference between the deterrence and the hearing thresholds were calculated and followed a Gaussian distribution, determined by visual inspection of the qq curve.

Sound samples were produced in MATLAB.

A.H. designed the study, collected data, performed analyses, and wrote the first manuscript draft.
