The phrase "aborted trials" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to research, clinical studies, or experiments that have been stopped or terminated before completion.
Example: "The researchers had to report the results of the aborted trials due to unforeseen complications."
Alternatives: "terminated trials" or "discontinued trials".
Failure to do this resulted in the trial being aborted, with aborted trials being repeated at the end of the block.
The intuition is that neurons that respond more when a trial is more rewarding ("positive" neurons) should fire less on aborted trials compared to those that were not aborted.
The aborted trials so far had already cost between £20m and £24m, on some reckonings.
Main Outcome Measures: Postural performance in each trial was monitored by using 2 criteria: the number of aborted trials caused by loss of balance, and the angular dispersion of the support oscillations in roll.
In addition, in the closed-loop practice phases with and without the visuo-motor rotation, aborted trials (those that were not finished within 5 seconds) were reanalyzed.
All trials, whether successful or not, were included in the analysis except for aborted trials when subjects did not respond within 1 s from go-signal, or initiated the movement before the go-signal, or when hand velocity remained under 0.08 m/s.
Second, monkeys were more likely to abort trials that included the P cue, indicated that the trials were associated with a less desirable outcome.
The green arrow changed to red on 30% of the trials, upon which the go response had to be aborted (stop trials).
All trials in which the monkey made a choice from the choice array were included in this analysis; trials in which the monkey aborted the trial before a choice occurred are not included.
Note that firing rates for abort trials are not plotted in cases where there were fewer than 6 aborts.
We used an ROC analysis to compute 'abort selectivity' indices; indices greater than 0.5 indicated higher firing on abort trials and indices less 0.5 indicated higher firing on non-abort trials.
