On both matrix proteins we observed an increased and more consistent efficiency of hematopoietic progenitor generation in hypoxic cultures, which was therefore the condition of choice for the following experiments.
Typically, sham exposure in which no RF EMF is applied resembles the control condition of choice.
Although liquid nitrogen might be the condition of choice, it is not feasible and practical in many hospitals, especially in developing countries.
Instead, we need to consider which principles all citizens could accept under idealized conditions of choice.
He calls the ideal conditions of choice the "original position" (Rawls 1971, 118 162).
These truths are not fixed by facts that are independent of the practical standpoint, however characterized; rather, they are constituted by what agents would agree to under some specified conditions of choice.
Thus, to maintain the same conditions of choice across doses (i.e., same delay between end of drug effects and next choice) and to avoid drug accumulation, the inter-trial interval was increased with the dose: 10 (4.3+5.7), 16.4 (10.7+5.7) and 23.1 (17.4+5.7) min for 0.25, 0.75 and 1.5 mg, respectively.
Indeed, innate relative preferences under conditions of choice are systematically larger than the differences in single-odor preferences would predict (see supplementary Figure 7); therefore, relative measures of innate preference between 2 odors can resolve differences in "valuation" that single-odor preference measures cannot resolve.
We did not find any effect of either stimulation condition on choice response time.
First, we compared conditions of free choice versus instructed choice in a classical context (see below), operationally defined in the same way as the classical literature on free/instructed choices.
In a recent fMRI study of the RBT in healthy volunteers, we compared the sensitivity of pPAR responses with the odds of winning during active-choice versus no-choice trials, and found greater sensitivity under conditions of active choice, that is, when the probability information was used to guide bet selection (Studer et al. 2012).
