The lack of a VPB suppressing effect by dantrolene could be due to its inability to suppress automaticity [ 23, 24].
It has been suggested that the SRHI taps participants' awareness on reflection that they were not aware of initiating action at the time that it was performed (Gardner, Abraham, et al., 2012), and so automaticity is inferred from its consequences (e.g., 'I cannot recall lighting my cigarette, yet it is lit; therefore, I must have lit the cigarette automatically'; cf Sniehotta & Presseau, 2012).
Speech production in aphasics may therefore be largely mediated by motor automaticity, be it sung or spoken.
The automaticity of the SAN and its molecular control mechanism have been topics of intense interest.
Although adenosine is known to suppress PV automaticity in most veins, it would have been interesting to study whether in those veins with persisting automaticity transient exit conduction (i.e. transient unidirectional block) could be observed.
The research on automaticity includes the work on the automatic activation of stereotypes.
This shows a new relation between two separate notions of automaticity: groups generated by automata and automatic sequences.
In contrast to its developmental counterpart, acquired synesthesia does not demonstrate either idiosyncrasy or automaticity or stability [ 3, 24 ▪].
Our study provides the first evidence for the task-independence (i.e. automaticity) of this ability to encode abstract rules and for its immediate consequences for subsequent mental processes.
I.B.M., for example, used Big Data (along with many other techniques) to great effect in its "Jeopardy -winning Watson, and products such as Siri and Google search depend heavily on it, without quite making the lavish promises of human-free automaticity that Numenta implies.
