A subject was considered to reliably perceive the sound as continuous or discontinuous if their performance differed from chance at the p<0.05 level specified by the binomial distribution (see Fig. 2a and Methods).
However, in both of these time windows, nonparametric ANOVAs yielded significant main effects for subject performance (factors: condition ("noise alone" vs. "tone plus noise") and subject performance (reliably perceive as continuous vs. discontinuous); P50: H = 25.8, df = 51, p = 0.044; N270 350: H = 31.9, df = 51, p = 0.019; both corrected for multiple comparisons).
Following consent but prior to inclusion, subjects were tested to ascertain whether they could reliably perceive phosphenes in both hemispheres (see below for the technique used).
However, previous studies have shown that P. taeniatus reliably perceives computer stimuli concerning movement, body shape and coloration displayed by a cathode-ray-tube monitor [ 30, 31].
The improvement for Mental Health and Vitality is important because these dimensions showed neither a ceiling nor a floor effect, which means that the SF-36 questionnaire can reliably perceive positive or negative changes for these dimensions.
They had been selected from a sample of 27 participants for reliably perceiving phosphenes in a well-circumscribed location, with eyes open, at 90% of TMS stimulator output or less (see [37]).
Automatic acoustic measures of voice quality in people with Down syndrome (DS) do not reliably reflect perceived voice qualities.
This paper examines whether the principles advocated by practitioners systematically and reliably influence perceived aesthetics and perceived ease of use constructs that are important for the evaluation of websites.
The critical performance measure is the just-noticeable difference (JND), which represents the smallest interval at which the temporal order of the two information streams can still reliably be perceived.
Factors that reliably increase or decrease perceived risk are likely to be important for an accurate computed risk model.
