However, because the previous study employed a relatively simple competitive game and a laboratory experimental (non-naturalistic) setting to film the movie stimuli, it was unclear whether similar MNS activity is observed for more naturalistic and complex competitive games like professional sports game.
This is especially so during recent decades when applied research methods have been developed for observation and experimentation in increasingly naturalistic and complex clinical settings.
But the character in "The Illusionist" is not Tati's familiar screen persona, the distant, self-contained Monsieur Hulot, but a more naturalistic, more emotionally complex figure.
These stimuli, rather than complex naturalistic scenes, were used to provide simple disparity content which could be easily quantified and to minimize the contribution of pictorial depth cues.
To determine the effects of relative novelty on captive gorilla behavior, the regular alternation of two groups between complex naturalistic enclosures was studied at Zoo Atlanta.
The distribution of disparities in our stimuli is thus much simpler than that typical of complex naturalistic scenes, but as a result allows for a simple manipulation of disparity and the effect this has on depth realism.
While such techniques may be helpful for tasks such as memorizing a shopping list or learning the names of new acquaintances, they offer limited opportunity to improve one's ability to remember a complex naturalistic sequence of events.
As we shall see, the concept of the body-without-organs is put to work in a complex naturalistic philosophy of "desiring-production" that moves far beyond the question of sense into the realms of nature, history, and politics.
The actions leading to the instantiation of the Ushahidi system are examined as examples of human cognitive stigmergic response to critical incidents and naturalistic development of complex adaptive systems.
Furthermore, there are numerous widely cited studies that pioneered entirely new areas of research that used a single complex naturalistic stimulus (Hasson, Nir, Levy, Fuhrmann, & Malach, 2004; Yarbus, 1967), a single real-world interaction (Simons & Levin, 1998), or, when studying high level comprehension, of a single narrative (Anderson & Pichert, 1978; Bransford & Johnson, 1972).
