Description of methods used for collection/generation of data:<br>The auditory stimuli were amplitude-modulated tones with a carrier frequency (fc) of 500 Hz and modulation frequencies (fm) of 20.48 Hz, 40.96 Hz, or 81.92 Hz. <br>The experiment was programmed in python: https://www.python.org/ and used extra functions from here: https://github.com/stamnosslin/mn<br><br><br>The EEG data were recorded with an Active Two BioSemi system (BioSemi, Amsterdam, Netherlands; www.biosemi.com) and saved in .bdf format.<br>For more information, see linked publication.<br><br><br>2. Methods for processing the data:<br>We conducted frequency analyses and computed event-related potentials. See linked publication<br><br><br>3.
