Furthermore, whereas for the two simulations the dynamic error was always inferior or equivalent to the static error, during the robotic experiment session this trend was inverted (dynamic higher than static error).
The experimental evaluation on ten naïve subjects demonstrated that an average classification accuracy of 75.4% was obtained during the first experiment session (day) after about 3 min of online training without offline training, and 81.4% during the second session (day).
As a validity check of the emotion manipulation, participants' emotional states were assessed before and after each video clip and task block (i.e., five times in total during each experiment session) using Bradley and Lang's (1994) Self-Assessment Manikins (SAM; a brief, nonverbal measure of the pleasure, arousal, and dominance associated with a person's affective reaction).
The instructions were also repeated during the experiment, between the sessions.
Food was provided during the experiment and after experimental sessions.
The sessions were video recorded, and after the sessions, the healers were interviewed concerning their experiences during the experiment.
In that manner, individuals with migraine selected their thermal pain threshold based on their current sensitivity, which avoided unnecessary discomfort during the experiment, especially in the allodynic ictal sessions.
Reaction times in each condition remained constant over the duration of the testing sessions indicating a lack of learning during the experiment.
Data from each individual rat from the baseline session were used for normalization of subsequent data collected during the experiment.
No irrigation was needed during the experiment.
