Appropriate ROI placement was confirmed in parasagittal views, and the subject-to-subject consistency of ROI placement was checked by at least two of the authors.
"It's just a matter of consistency.
It was more a matter of consistency.
If moral judgement is a rational enterprise, it must be subject to constraints of consistency.
The traditional subjective judgments by clinicians are dependent on their experience and can be subject to lack of consistency and therefore a quantification method is worthwhile.
Why do we think of the moral person as the person of principle, and why do we think of moral judgement as subject to this sort of consistency constraint?
To test whether the RSFC-Snowballing provides similar parcellation across 2 independent scans collected from the same subject, the consistency of the RSFC-Snowballing aggregate peak density maps was examined across multiple scan sessions that were separated by multiple intervening days.
In the consistent subjects, the average (± SD) of consistency index values were 0.058 ± 0.052 in Group A (n = 146) and 0.063 ± 0.051 in Group B (n = 139).
The claim is that the demand of consistency with subjects' medical interests applies only to therapeutic research; non-therapeutic research studies and procedures may diverge from these norms to a certain extent, provided subjects' medical interests are not significantly compromised.
We observed a high degree of consistency across subjects in the pattern of activity in this region.
