In addition, the pairing of single-orientation visual stimulation and the injection of depolarizing current to visual cortical neurons shifted preferred orientations towards the exposed orientation in adult cats as well as in kittens [41].
As (inverse) metric of persistence we preferred convergence towards resident communities over structural change as compared to original structure (i.e. self-similarity) because the former depends more directly on mortality of introduced species and invasion of resident species.
All three species showed preferred orientation towards southwest to southeast in experiments performed under natural clear skies and in the local geomagnetic field (Fig. 1A, Fig. 2A, Fig. 3A; Table 2).
The ciliates overwhelmingly preferred to swim towards the Genlisea, suggesting that the traps were releasing some sort of chemical lure.
The chicks preferred to move towards the walking hen in 60% of the trials, the researchers report in the July issue of PLoS Biology.
They preferred to move towards the area with a high deposition of Ag nanoparticles and formed a micro-flower nanoparticle structure, as shown in Fig. 2b.
Vice versa, the "non-gamblers" preferred to shift towards the SS hole not because they were "unlucky" with LLL pokes, but likely because of sensitivity and hence aversion to uncertainty.
Rather than answer those questions in detail, they preferred to steer commentary towards other technological advances the company has made, such as the self-driving car.
So perhaps it is no surprise that medieval worshippers preferred to focus their feelings towards something a little softer in the shape of a rebranded Virgin Mary.
Arrows point towards the model preferred by the likelihood ratio test, with p values shown.
It's not big obvious things — in fact, that's the point of these "dark patterns": that they are small and subtle yet effective ways of guiding people towards the outcome preferred by the designers.
