Reviewer #2(Public Review): The interpretation of p-values is rigid, and near-significant results (e.g., p = 0.06) are dismissed without discussion.

This yielded a positive correlation but did not reach statistical significance (Pearson’s R: p=0.08, Figure 5—figure supplement 4 ).

Most of the measures of IP failed to reach statistically significant correlations with the fundamental frequency of the longest harmonic stack (significance values ≥0.107), while firing frequency tended towards significance (R 2 =0.13, p=0.63; Figure 3—figure supplement 1 ).
