In the context of this theory, Bell et al. [2] recently studied the effect of the probability of task-relevant stimuli on the activity of macaque inferior temporal (IT) neurons and observed a reduced population response to expected faces in face-selective neurons.
Some studies have inferred mind-wandering indirectly, by varying task demands to influence the probability of task-unrelated thoughts and estimating the frequency of mind-wandering episodes by collecting data outside the scanner [7], [8], [11], [14], [15], [40].
To analyze whether the glycine to arginine exchange in the extracellular M1-P1 linker causes an increased open probability of TASK-4 channels via the charge introduced at position 88, we tested whether the gain-of-function was also present in G88K or G88E mutants.
It performs particularly well for instances with non-symmetric probability distribution of task durations.
By enforcing faster resources to execute larger tasks first, and slow resources to execute smaller tasks first, the probability of large tasks being scheduled to slow resources is reduced, and the job execution tends to finish faster.
where is the success probability of the task.
This choice in the procedure allowed us to increase the difference between the procedure of the SA pointing (slow pointing with no time limit) and that of the LP task (fast repetitive pointing due to rapid target presentation) in order to reduce the probability of a task-context dependent artefact (see the second section of the discussion).
Consequently, a person with a certain skill-deficit (e.g., is not "able to work with domain specific tools": TOOL) in its skill-vector will, for example, have a low probability of solving tasks which require the application of IP specific tools "TOOL", irrespective of other needed skills.
This slow presentation rate introduced by Smallwood et al. [38] was used because it has previously been demonstrated to increase the probability of off-task reports in comparison to faster presentation rates (e.g., 1250 msec [49]).
