And in the other two conditions, there was a baseline condition in which we had no dolls at all we just had little stacks of blocks.
Resting state, a condition in the absence of stimulus or cognitive task, is important to understand the spontaneous oscillation of brain activity and is considered as a baseline condition in many neuroimaging studies [ 21- 24].
For within-subjects experiments, or tacitly within-subjects experiment in which participant performance is compared to a baseline condition (e.g., switch costs, Simon effect magnitude, priming magnitude, Stroop effect), between-system variability is not an issue.
We note that this differential activation is in addition to the commonly reported activation of face regions in the occipital temporal face network (Ishai 2008; Cohen Kadosh et al. 2011) that was found when each task was contrasted against a baseline condition (see Fig. 2).
Experiments are done on a small laboratory ball bearing rig on which vibration displacement data are acquired for a baseline condition as well as six different fault conditions that are introduced separately at different subcritical steady state speeds.
The two haptic aids were compared with a baseline condition in which no haptic force was associated to the obstacles.
In order to measure the degree of success of a sustainable design, the building's performance should be compared to a baseline condition, which relates to where a building or project is located and the microclimate and environmental conditions of that specific location.
Activity during picture naming was contrasted with a baseline condition of quiet rest, and the implant location was chosen as a region of peak activity on the precentral gyrus (see Figure 8).
The 'default mode' is a term first coined by Raichle et al [ 1] to describe resting-state brain function and may be defined as a baseline condition of brain activity.
In order to do so, we carried out two parallel experiments in which both tasks were presented in a baseline condition as well as in association with three different concurrent tasks (i.e., articulatory suppression, spatial tapping, and random generation) supposed to tap the various components of working memory.
