The velocity of droplets ejected by our dispensing system can be easily controlled at a desired droplet volume by selecting design parameters and operating conditions that correspond to a specific patterning condition.
The results show that the U-type dispensing pattern has significant effect on the reduction of filling time than that done at the L-pattern condition.
Additionally, compared to the simple pattern condition, trial duration for the complex patterns was significantly increased in both distance conditions.
This indicates that the complex pattern condition (as compared to the simple one) requires more and longer model visits to build up memory.
As a consistent result, we found that for the simple pattern condition (both in the near and far case), model visit duration is shorter, the number of model visits is smaller, and the number of blocks processed after a model visit is larger than in the complex pattern condition.
At least 50 neurites were scored for each pattern condition.
However, for the reversed-pattern condition, although the overall contrast energy remained the same as in the identical-pattern condition, many features of the pattern were changed by inversion.
Indeed, the increase in thresholds was substantial (about 120 % for the identical-pattern condition of Exp. 1).
In another condition ("reversed-pattern" condition, shown in Fig. 1b), the luminance distributions of the stimuli were reversed, such that formerly white elements were black, and vice versa.
Interestingly, the Weber fractions for the reversed-pattern condition were consistently higher than those for the identical-pattern condition by about ~17%%, indicating an additional cost to performance when the patterns in the task were simply contrast-reversed versions of each other.
