As Stuewer (1993) has suggested, Cockcroft and Walton use mass-energy equivalence to confirm their hypothesis about what happens when 7Li is bombarded by protons.
In the case of bistable stimuli, this dynamic process is perpetual: though the input remains the same, the difference between the present interpretation and the alternative one exerts constant pressure to alter the current hypothesis, and this happens periodically.
There have been competing hypotheses about what happens with the STAT5 in the nucleus.
An early theory, the Meyer-Overton hypothesis, suggested that narcosis happens when the gas penetrates the lipids of the brain's nerve cells, causing direct mechanical interference with the transmission of signals from one nerve cell to another.
For me, the first rapturous stirrings were experienced at a time when I convinced myself that I was really on to something, that my own hypothesis concerning (as it happens) the origins of the King Arthur stories might actually have some faint scholarly merit.
For, suppose that hi is the true hypothesis, and consider what happens to each of its false competitors, hj.
"Synaptic plasticity or experience-dependent change is the best thing we have going as a hypothesis for how learning happens in the brain".
False alarm happens when hypotheses H 0 or H 3 are selected even though PU is inactive.
A subject's strategy can be strictly inferential (i.e. no redundant tests), in which case it is automatically optimal, subjects could systematically attempt to refute the apparently likeliest hypothesis (Popperian strategy) or, as happens often in reality, they may try to confirm those abnormal findings that support their currently favorite hypothesis.
With respect to the following, we add that the hypothesis that heating happened by lightning-like gas discharges is still under serious discussion.
