This attractive bias was still marginally significant when we restricted the analysis to the narrow time window of 163 ms with significant target decoding (163–0 ms before response, t (19) = 2.0861, p = 0.0507).

In the much shorter probe-onset-to-rotation-start time window (see Fig 7A inset), the attractive bias trended in the same direction but failed to reach significance ( t (29) = 1.6094, p = 0.1184).
