Referee Comment: <b>Patrizio Tressoldi</b>; <i>Posted: 31 Oct 2015</i>; Thank you for your review. Here follows our replies to your comments.......5. The effect size in such experiments is small or very small, being on the border of chance. Therefore, it would have been appropriate to make a comparison with the effect size obtained in other experiments of this type. <b>Reply: We are still wondering if a meta-analysis could be carried out on all the available studies related to this phenomena, but the variety of methods used to analyse the data (see the Supplementary Material), raise serious concerns on this possibility.</b>.....8. For future research I think that generating a baseline obtained from experimental sessions in which any (no) stimulus will be applied, It would be more appropriate than the method used in this experiment. <b>Reply: We agree with your suggestion we will take it in account for the next experiments.</b>
