Patterns of genital arousal in response to gendered sexual stimuli (i.e., sexual stimuli presenting members of only one sex at a time) are more predictive of men's than of women's sexual orientations. Additional lines of evidence may shed light on the nature of these differences. We measur...
Three experiments are reported; they show the following: (i) Metacontrast occurs at high photopic conditions (250 cd m-2); at this luminance the function peaks at stimulus asynchronies of approximately 40 ms (compared with 100 ms at lower luminances). (ii) The strength of metacontrast is ...
Based on theoretical considerations, motion stimuli are developed that require very specific operations to be performed by the visual system. Computational models explaining the processing of these 'Fourier' and 'second-order' motion stimuli are characterized by increasing complexity. The same types of ...
Because behavioral responses have long been assumed to be possible only during wakefulness, they are either rejected from the analysis8,20or not collected at all in sleep studies. The rare studies that measured behavioral responses in sleeping participants discovered manual behavioral responses during N1...
A. An infant's potential to respond to a stimulus may be related to the size of its brain. B. Changes in the electrical patterns of an infant's brain are difficult to detect. C. Different areas of an infant's brain respond to different types of stimuli. ...
The common origin of emotions has long been a subject of scientific interest1 with different emotional responses producing a diverse range of communicative elements, especially through the face. Facial expressions are also correlates of internal state in both humans2 and other animals3,4,5,6 and ...
Understanding how communication sounds are encoded in the central auditory system is critical to deciphering the neural bases of acoustic communication. Songbirds use learned or unlearned vocalizations in a variety of social interactions. They have telencephalic auditory areas specialized for processing natu...
Second, cognitive processes and preferences underlying designers' search for inspiration are explored. Third, methods to support designers’ search for and retrieval of inspirational stimuli, including various AI-enabled methods, are reviewed. This background is relevant to the work presented in the ...
Using the structural equation approach, we sought to demonstrate that gF is dependent on the efficiency of WM updating for both emotional and neutral stimuli, whereas EI might depend only on the updating efficacy in the emotional context. The results are discussed in terms of the domain ...
