The phrase "auditory trial" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to experiments or assessments involving hearing or sound perception.
Example: "The researchers conducted an auditory trial to evaluate the participants' ability to distinguish between different frequencies."
Alternatives: "hearing test" or "sound assessment".
Conversely, dorsal attention network pre-stimulus activity was overall irrelevant and on auditory trials even detrimental to performance.
In contrast, no significant effects of rTMS to the AG (or to the PMC) upon choice behavior in auditory trials were found.
Tone performance in dual task trials was better than in single auditory trials, p<0.03.
For auditory trials and congruent audiovisual trials, a one-way ANOVA with age as a between-subjects factor was conducted.
There were 100 trials per block, including 20 single task auditory trials, 20 single task visual trials, 20 null trials and 40 dual task trials, 20 trials for each SOA.
The experiment involved (a) dual task trials, with a tone followed by a masked letter; (b) single task auditory trials; (c) single task visual trials; (d) null trials with no stimulus.
It is possible that subjects dedicated more attention to the tone response in dual task trials than in single auditory trials, which could account for the difference in performance between the conditions.
Parietal activity found for single visual and auditory trials (Figure 2) might reflect stimulus-response mapping in the individual task [32] [34], which, however, did not interfere in our unspeeded experiment.
There was a behavioural training before the fMRI experiment, including two practice blocks each for single task visual trials, single task auditory trials and dual task trials (each practice block 32 trials) with feedback, followed by one block without feedback which resembled the experimental blocks in the fMRI session.
