The phrase "adapted stimuli" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to psychology, neuroscience, or any field discussing modified or tailored sensory inputs.
Example: "In the experiment, participants were exposed to adapted stimuli to assess their responses to altered environmental conditions."
Alternatives: "modified stimuli" or "tailored stimuli".
The efficient coding hypothesis predicts that neural representations of adapted stimuli become less correlated with one another, in keeping with an increased ability to discriminate their identity.
If this reduction in response occurs in the setting of independent, unchanged measurement noise, the reduced correlation we observe in the patterns evoked by adapted stimuli may be the product only of a lower signal-to-noise ratio.
Quantitatively, we classified AIs by the difference between the test and adapted stimuli, namely, the adapted hue (test and adapted hues were the same), adjacent hues (test and adapted hues differed by 90° on either side), and the opponent hue (differed by 180°), and performed a one-factor ANOVA with repeated measures in each visual area with test-stimulus conditions as the factor.
The efficient coding hypothesis predicts a lower discrimination threshold (i.e., better performance) for stimuli from the adapted stimulus set as compared to the unadapted stimulus set.
It would therefore be of interest to examine whether adaptation, using adapting stimuli with quickly changing orientation, as in our protocol, or using natural scenes that contain a wide range of orientations, also improves orientation discrimination.
Furthermore, low-level visual aftereffects are sensitive to a variety of manipulations including changes in the size and position of adapting stimuli [9].
For a set range of adapting stimuli, we compare aftereffect magnitude with the rate of perceptual drift during inspection, with the latter quantity measured using a novel dynamic nulling paradigm.
The method of selective adaptation is often referred to as the psychologist's microelectrode because it allows researchers to make inferences on the activity of neurons engaged in the processing of adapting stimuli [14].
Then if adaptation is prolonged, suppression becomes limited on the near far flank and facilitation increases toward the adapting stimulus thus revealing attractive shifts (see figure 5).
As we learnt more about DF's abilities, we adapted the stimuli accordingly and introduced new stimuli to exclude various interpretations.
Rather, these aftereffects are consistent with earlier findings that the spatial spread of adaptation becomes increasingly broad as adapting stimuli move further into the periphery [ 35].
