Los Angeles-based artist Rachel Lord has chosen to work in the ambiguous tones of gray for her latest show Safeworld, on at The Composing Rooms, Berlin, with the colors reflecting the enigmatic subject matter that the images explore. .
Rats housed in unpredictable housing conditions that induce a mild negative depression-like state [12,13] were less likely to judge ambiguous tones as predicting a rewarding outcome than those housed in control conditions – they showed a pessimistic-like bias in line with findings that people in negative states judge ambiguous stimuli negatively [3,8,9].
To measure judgement biases, we presented a wide range of ambiguous tones to gain a detailed picture of any treatment-related changes in the shape of the resulting generalisation curve between the two training tones.
The same computer-generated, ambiguous tones help create the next, ear-splitting sound: What do you hear?
In contrast to the standard single ambiguous tone tests which likely engage mechanisms that compare the presented tone to a tone-outcome distribution retrieved from memory, we reasoned that simultaneous presentation of both training tones would engage attentional mechanisms such that decisions might reflect biases in attention to one or other tone.
In 1995, he urged us, with an ambiguous tone, to "fight this generation".
Ambiguity tests involving simultaneous presentation of training tones correlated strongly with tests using a single ambiguous tone presentation and could be used in future as new measures of attention bias.
In order to probe CABs, rats were then presented with intermediate ambiguous tone cues.
In keeping with that theme, Ruby Sparks did not follow commercially in the tyre-tracks of Little Miss Sunshine – blame the Olympics, or a release date that pitted it against The Dark Knight Rises, or the more ambiguous tone.
Adapting Christopher Buckley's satirical 1994 novel, Jason Reitman (the son of the director and producer Ivan Reitman) maintains a juicily ambiguous tone.
