Both Chiew and Braver (2013) and Locke and Braver (2008) utilized a within-subjects design permitting examination of both block reward manipulations (i.e., a baseline vs. reward block) and trial reward manipulations (incentive and nonincentive trials randomly intermixed within the reward block), allowing relative measures of both block (tonic) and trial (phasic) effects of incentive to be indexed.
An example of this was the part-pedestrianisation of Times Square from 2009, achieved through the simple measure of blocking off Broadway with orange barrel-bollards.

Divide the image into 3 × 3 blocks, compute a uniformity measure of each block by working out the variances of R, G, and B intensity value in each block, then calculate the energy of all the eight-connected paths, and find one particular path having the minimum energy [28].
