In Study 1, we found differences in measured response times and, to a lesser degree, stimulus presentation durations, across the four systems tested, but it is unclear how representative this variability might be of the general Web-experiment-participating public.
Third, the large region of posterior cortex that included visual, parietal, and posterior cingulate cortex, but not PFC ACC and STC, showed significant gamma band ERS to subliminal emotional and neutral stimuli as well, though to a lesser extent than, supraliminal stimuli.
In contrast, activity in cortical areas endowed with mirror properties, like left Broca's area for the perception of speech, and in the processing of emotions like the left anterior insula for the perception of disgust and the orbitofrontal cortex for the perception of anger, is reduced for robot stimuli, suggesting lesser resonance with the mechanical agent.
Corresponding test stimuli had an orientation that was 22°C greater or lesser than that of the reference stimulus, or it had the same orientation.
Interestingly, subliminal emotional stimuli showed significant gamma ERS within this PFC region (BA 10) although to a lesser degree than supraliminal emotional stimuli did.
The inner ears of all vertebrates detect both auditory and vestibular stimuli to a lesser or greater extent, depending on the species.
Based on the theory that injurious stimuli of a lesser amplitude than those causing necrosis in the same cells induce apoptosis [ 36], 5 and 500 μM concentrations of KA and a 0.5 pM concentration of KA applied for 3 h may result in different types of oxidative stress.
Edworthy and Waring [8] explored the effect of music tempo (and loudness) on treadmill running and demonstrated that an increase in the tempo, and to a lesser extent the loudness of the stimulus, resulted in an increase in running speed.
The informativeness of regions is learned over repeated exposures to faces and depends more on the population exposed to and only to a lesser degree on the actual face stimulus encoded.
In our study, a less intensive CVR was detected in patients with sepsis-associated encephalopathy, that is cerebral arterioles reacted to the vasodilator stimulus slower and to a lesser extent.
This is how the debate over the economic stimulus played out, and, to a lesser extent, the federal budget as well.
