To this end we examined EEG oscillatory activity at 0.5 Hz increments and 16 ms time windows, relying on false discovery rate (FDR) methods to control for multiple comparisons. We draw on work in the field of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), where high-dimensional data create the potential for many statistical comparisons to be made and investigators have increasingly relied on FDR procedures (Benjamini & Hochberg, 1995; Benjamini, Krieger, & Yekutieli, 2006; Benjamini & Yekutieli, 2001) to control type I error rates. These approaches are just beginning to take hold in EEG research (Crowley, Wu, McCreary, Miller, & Mayes, 2012; Groppe, Urbach, & Kutas, 2011; Lage-Castellanos, Martinez-Montes, Hernandez-Cabrera, & Galan, 2010).
