Sentence examples for violation sequence from inspiring English sources

Namely, the first violating sound present in the violation sequence had an acoustically identical match in its consistent sequence pair (Fig. 1C).

Then the consistent and violation sequence response waveforms were subtracted from each other to create a difference plot (violation minus consistent; Fig. 3B).

Critically, the first illegal sound element in a violation sequence was identical to one in the matching consistent sequence, allowing us to analyse acoustically identical parts of the consistent and violation sequences (Suppl. Fig. S3).

This could identify an interesting contextual effect whereby the strength of the acoustically-related EEG response to the consistent vs. violation sequence element prior to the violation was associated with the strength of the effect to the violation sound and its acoustically matched consistent sequence sound (illustrated in Suppl. Fig. S7C).

Fig. 3A shows the ERP components to the violation and consistent sequences in response to the violating sound in the violation sequences, for the frontal electrodes where we expected certain ERP components to be more prominent (Suppl. Fig. S4 shows the grand average ERPs for all electrodes).

For each session an average waveform was created per channel for each of the sixteen sequences (Block A = four consistent and four violation sequences, Block B = four consistent and four violation sequences).

Within these windows, the maximum value of the EEG response to both the consistent and violation sequences was measured.

This allowed us to compare the effects in response to a violation element in the violation sequences to an acoustically identical element in the consistent sequence (Fig. 1C).

To match the violation sequences with the same elements in consistent sequences involved shifting the alignment of some of the sequences.

Next each of the EEG waveforms in response to the violation sequences were analysed relative to the EEG responses to the matching consistent sequence pairs.

Moreover, the reported effects are evident in sequences with no shifting and balanced shifting between consistent and violation sequences (Suppl. Fig. S6).
