The cardiac reactivity was sensitive to changes in stimulus characteristics.
Ahissar, M. & Hochstein, S. Learning pop-out detection: specificities to stimulus characteristics.
It is often assumed that the stimulus characteristics of the goal are what produce the goal's motivating properties.
A relation between stimulus characteristics of traffic noise and cardiac response mechanisms during sleep was studied in 12 subjects, living along a highway with a high traffic density.
These analyses have shown that the sequence of N1, N2, and P2 waves represents a gradual progress from processes reflecting noxious stimulus characteristics to processes directly or indirectly related to the perception of pain8,9.
The one case consists of differentiating previously neglected stimulus characteristics; the other is a matter of re-evaluating stimuli and learning to respond to them differently.
We found that bankers and students differ in their risk estimations and that stimulus characteristics were unstable, varying in their salience by site but not by persons.
Based on stimulus characteristics of our complex tone pairs, we categorized trials into congruent (when the pitch shift direction in pitch height matched that in pitch chroma) and incongruent conditions (when pitch height was shifted in a conflicting direction with pitch chroma).
It seems more than coincidence that these same two aspects of sound, pressure and velocity, are the only stimulus characteristics on which the evolution of ears appears to have been based.
Experimental tests with real robot stereo pairs demonstrate the capability of the architecture not just to directly learn from the environment, but to adapt the control to the stimulus characteristics.
Research examining multisensory integration suggests that the correspondence of stimulus characteristics across modalities (cross-modal correspondence) can have a dramatic influence on both neurophysiological and perceptual responses to multimodal stimulation.
