Representative faces for cleft and normal/healthy infant groups (composite images used here to protect individual identities) illustrating the eye and mouth regions of interest analyzed.
Fig 2.
The bottom panel shows the global field power of the grand average ERP calculated over condition and participant.
The colored regions indicate the temporal windows used to define the P100 (purple), N170 (red), P200 (green), and LPP (aqua) ERP components. The scalp topographies of the averaged amplitude within each window are shown in the insets above. Red is positive, and blue is negative potential. The large dark circles indicated channel locations used for statistical analysis of each ERP component.

A raincloud plot of the cuteness ratings.
The histograms show the probability density estimates for rating the cleft (green) and normal (red) palate faces. The individual ratings are shown below as colored circles. The thick vertical line is the mean; the box includes data within the 25th to 75th percentile. The whiskers range from the 2nd to 98th percentile.

Vertical raincloud plots for the time to first fixation (left) and duration of first fixation (right).
Fig 5.
The left panel shows a vertical raincloud plot of the N170 amplitudes for the cleft (green) and normal (red) palate faces. The N170 amplitude for upright faces is on the left, and for inverted faces is on the right. Note that the N170 gets larger as it gets more negative. The 3D scalp topographies on the right highlight the source of the palate x inversion interaction. The N170 to cleft palate faces were much larger than to normal palate faces when displayed upright (top) but not when inverted (bottom).
Fig 6.
The left panel shows a vertical raincloud plot of the P200 amplitudes for the cleft (green) and normal (red) palate faces. The P200 amplitude for upright faces is on the left, and for inverted faces is on the right. The 3D scalp topographies on the right highlight the source of the palate x inversion interaction. The P200 to normal palate faces was much larger than to cleft palate faces when displayed upright (top) but not when inverted (bottom).
Fig 7.
The left panel shows a vertical raincloud plot of the LPP amplitudes for the cleft (green) and normal (red) palate faces. The LPP amplitude for upright faces is on the left, and for inverted faces is on the right. The 3D scalp topographies on the right highlight the source of the effect of the palate. The LPP was larger for cleft than normal palate faces.
