Next, we compared these groups in terms of their performance at session 20 for each of the cognitive training tasks and found an effect of Group for all but one of the tasks (Supplemental Table 2).
PTNs were discriminated and clustered using modified Wave_clus software [ 41] and carefully tested to ensure that only spikes from the identified PTN were used in analysis; statistical tests were then carried out to detect modulation of PTN discharge from baseline in different periods of the execution and observation tasks (Supplemental Experimental Procedures).
No significant differences between blue and green light exposures, and between violet and green light exposures were detected during task periods (Supplemental Tables S2).
The corners of each target area were demarcated by four small, gray marker dots, 2 pixels square and visible throughout the experiment, in order to help the observer sustain spatial attention on the relevant region for the visual task (see Supplemental Data).
In April 2010, the VA stopped giving its employees performance credit for "supplemental development," which included tasks such as calling and sending follow-up letters to veterans and follow-up requests for military documents and medical records.
Our set of five new assignments progressed through the steps of phylogenetic tree construction, beginning with basic skills and culminating with relatively complex tasks (see Supplemental Material).
It is a laborious and expensive task to develop supplemental irrigation schedules solely by conventional field experimentation.
Next, subjects were told that two music 'reviewers', of whom subjects had read descriptions and rated as capable of choosing enjoyable music, had listened to each song; the subjects then performed the task illustrated in Supplemental Figure S1.
The visuomotor task [23] (see Supplemental Experimental Procedures) interleaved between the two rest sessions required the participants to use their nonpreferred left hand to move an MR-compatible joystick.
TRNS did not influence performance in these domains, indicating that the effects of stimulation were specific to the trained material, at least in the context of the control tasks employed here (Supplemental Results).
An additional 12 cocaine patients from the same residential treatment setting were matched for close demographic similarity (in age, years cocaine use, and years education; see Supplemental Methods forced choice category recognition task, below) to the imaging cohort.
