Gaba decided to adapt the method for anesthesiologists working in the O.R., where they must monitor a stream of data about a patient's vital organs and relay critical information to the surgeon and the nursing team.
Her move to New York may have been heralded two months ago when she launched a US-only social network, the almost eponymous Menshn.com, as a topic-based site allowing people to debate by subject rather than monitor a stream of often divergent tweets.
In parallel with controlling the space ship, maintaining velocity, and handling mines and missiles, players always needed to monitor a stream of symbols for a dollar sign, whose second appearance indicates a bonus in the form of extra missiles or game points.
Indeed, to address this question, they developed a dual-stream rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) paradigm in which subjects were required to maintain central fixation on a stream of numeral stimuli while at the same time monitoring a peripheral stream of letter stimuli in order to detect an embedded target letter.
For example, a recent study employing Tonic and Phasic Alertness Training (TAPAT), a task that requires monitoring a constant stream of hundreds of novel scenes, demonstrated group-level (n = 12) improvements after training compared to a test retest control group or active treatment control condition on measures of visual search, midpoint estimation and working memory (DeGutis and Van Vleet, 2010).
But existing hydrogen sensors are too sluggish to monitor a continuous stream of hydrogen gas, so combustion engines can't precisely vary the amount of hydrogen they need at a given time.
Participants monitored a central stream of crosses for targets defined on the basis of either a single feature (color) or a conjunction of features (color and orientation) and were simultaneously presented with irrelevant auditory distractors.
For example, Sinnett, Costa, and Soto-Faraco (2006) found that recognition rates for spoken words were reduced when participants had to also monitor a rapid stream of pictures, relative to when the words were fully attended.
While ITER is running, the machine's central brain, a computer system called CODAC, will monitor a hundred and twenty thousand streams of information among them the plasma's temperature, fluctuations in electromagnetic activity, and the forces that the reactions exert on the machine.
