It later emerged that Waksal had learned that regulators were about to reject trials of a cancer drug it had in develop ment.
The third was artifact rejection, implemented by rejecting trials that had a range of more than 150 μV.
There were no significant differences between the groups with respect to the number of rejected trials.
A protocol listed the number of rejected trials for each recording.
The researchers increased one group of observers' perceived prevalence rates by informing them they had missed the target on 20% of correctly rejected trials.
The percentage of rejected trials was always less than 5%.
Rejected trials were still considered during calculation of the ITR to prevent an artificially small approximation of V.
Irrelevant drifts in the pupil diameter data over the course of the scan session were removed by automatically rejecting trials that did not show the average phasic response to sounds.
Number of rejected trials for all conditions can be found in Table 2. Averaged ERP responses and scalp topographies for all subjects in condition C1000 can be found in Figure 2 and Figure 3, respectively.
Electrophysiological exclusion was determined by data quality (30% or more rejected trials per experimental condition).
To reduce eye movement and blink artifacts, we rejected trials containing signals exceeding 1.5 pT in frontotemporal sensors.
