Following the publication of the original article [1], the authors realised that their choice of notation for the equations used is, at points, unclear and may be misinterpreted by the reader.

Across all instances in the manuscript, they would like to change the letter ‘B’ in their notation to the letter ‘β’, and also change ‘B’ in the equation defining their simulation setup to ‘W’. In addition, they would like to correct a typo and replace the term ‘father’ with ‘mother’.
