INTERPRETATION
  - stim x day interaction: n.s. (p=0.0513, slope diff=+1.62) -> slopes parallel -- no differential learning rate over this window.
  - stim main effect on Day 1 (our day 0): n.s. (p=0.1895) -> groups are comparable on Day 1.

Paper (N=24): interaction t(227)=2.68, F(1)=7.12, p=0.008; day t(227)=9.64,
  F(1)=267.64, p=1.2e-18; stim t(227)=0.23, F(1)=0.053, p=0.81.
