Appraisal refers to the mechanisms which give a stimulus event emotional meaning and is widely held to shape experiential/emotional, physiological, and behavioral responses to stimulus events (e.g., Cacioppo, Berntson, Larsen, Poehlmann, & Ito, 2000).

Siami and colleagues addressed this important question by measuring plasma vasopressin levels of normonatremic patients who had septic shock for more than 72 hours who were given a stimulus: osmotic stimulation using 500 ml hypertonic saline [ 131].
By collecting the responses recorded at the same time point in the video across many repeated presentations, we obtain samples from the conditional distribution of activity patterns r given a stimulus s, denoted P(r| s).
