Corrigendum: Reduced Mu Power in Response to Unusual Actions Is Context-Dependent in 1-Year-Olds

A Corrigendum on
Reduced Mu Power in Response to Unusual Actions Is Context-Dependent in 1-Year-Olds

In the original article, there were mistakes in Figures 2–5 as published. We analyzed the artifact-free data segments in Fieldtrip (Oostenveld et al., 2011) using the “ft_freqanalysis” function. We configured this function to compute power, however, stated erroneously in the original text that we computed the “power spectral density (PSD).” Consequently, we labeled the y-axis units according to PSD but not power.

The y-axis unit in Figure 3 was corrected to “μV²”, additionally, the scaling used in Figures 2, 4 and 5 was a natural logarithm instead of a common logarithm. The scaling has now been adjusted to the common logarithm and the y-axis unit has been adjusted to “dB” accordingly. The corrected Figures 2–5 appear below.

A correction has also been made to the Materials and Methods, EEG Recording and Analyses, Frequency Domain Analysis, Paragraph one:

“Artifact-free data segments were submitted to fast Fourier transformations (FFTs). For each segmented test frame (hand or head touch), the power was computed from 0 to 1,500 ms relative to the onset of the related stimulus using a Hanning-tapered window of the same length (by applying the ‘ft freqanalysis’ function with ‘mtmfft’ method as implemented in Fieldtrip). Power estimates were calculated for frequencies ($\frac{2}{3}$Hz bins) between 0 and 124.667 Hz. Grand averages of the FFTs were computed for both hand- and head-action outcomes in the hands-free and hand-restrained condition.”

Additionally, there was a mistake in the legend for Figure 2 as published. The legend has been rewritten to provide a better understanding of the figure content. The correct legend appears below.

“Figure 2. Individual power spectra across an average for hand- and head-touch actions across an average of frontal and central electrodes (F3, F4, C3, C4) for (A) hands-free and (B) hands-restrained condition.”

The authors apologize for these errors and state that they do not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
