Perhaps labelling affects one's efforts to discover distinguishing characteristics of stimuli.
In discrimination learning the subject is reinforced to respond only to selected sensory characteristics of stimuli.
The spatial characteristics of stimuli were created by introducing constant or variable interaural time delay (ITD) into the click trains.
The present results may afford a different interpretation in terms of the temporal characteristics of stimuli.
Finally, cortical responses to dynamic visual stimuli may be described as successions of activity patterns, i.e. trajectories in a multidimensional pattern space, reflecting the temporal characteristics of stimuli.
In addition to sensory integration, this system codes for affective characteristics of stimuli such as reward, aversion, and relative value.
It appears in comparison tasks which require a decision on either physical or semantic characteristics of stimuli (Czigler & Csibra, 1992; Näätänen & Picton, 1986; Wijers, Mulder, Okita, & Mulder, 1989).
Because humans can match sounds on the basis of pitch alone, at some stage in the auditory pathway we might hope to find neurons whose response is governed, not by the spectral or binaural characteristics of the stimulus, but by the pitch evoked by the stimulus.
PSOLA performs the lengthening of the stimulus in time domain and preserves most of physical characteristics of the stimulus such as spectral shape, amplitude distribution, and periodicity [ 11].
8 Stimulation effects, however, also depend on the temporal characteristics of the stimulus waveform.
