I forget who brought up the famous iPhone/Android hidden recording file crisis, but things quickly got out of hand when one of us suggested that was a feature not a problem.
The threat-evoked SCR was identified as the peak in the conductance that occurred up to 5 seconds after the onset of the threat stimuli (that is from the first moment the participant saw the knife approaching one of the hands), which was flagged in the SCR recording file.
For mole vibrations, we clipped two sequences of vibrations containing several pulses (ca. 5 sec in total) from a recording file provided in reference 6 (Fig. 2B).
These included overheating of the hardware due to the research team's inclusion of extra memory, an external camera, and modem; recording file corruptions; and program errors that required Giraff to be restarted.
Several participants expressed interest in using a dictation device that captures a voice recording file for upload to SR software to convert the voice file to text; such devices are available in the marketplace.
As a control, we compared the number of vocalizations in the first three 5-min recording files to the last 3 of a 6 recording file sequence recorded on 5 mornings at 5 different locations during the study period in which Zammara choruses did not occur.
