Visualizations of the posterior distributions of the effects (pairwise comparisons) of the neural EEG responses. Black dots show the posterior mean of the conditional effect; horizontal bars and lines denote the 95% posterior credible intervals. On the Y-axis, effects are sorted from the largest to the smallest posterior difference. An effect is considered significant if 0 does not lie within the 95% credible interval of the posterior difference. For example, in the first line, TD mouth—ASD mouth presents the posterior distribution of the difference between the neural response of the TD group and the ASD group to the mouth. For this condition effect, the 95% credible interval contains 0. Therefore, we are not able to reject the null hypothesis that there is no difference between the conditions
