Most studies of emotional responses have used unimodal stimuli (e.g., pictures or sounds) or congruent bimodal stimuli (e.g., video clips with sound), but little is known about the emotional response to incongruent bimodal stimuli. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of congruence between auditory and visual bimodal stimuli on heart rate and self-reported measures of emotional dimension, valence and arousal. Subjects listened to pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant sounds, accompanied by videos with and without content congruence, and heart rate was recorded. Dimensions of valence and arousal of each bimodal stimulus were then self-reported. The results showed that heart rate depends of the valence of the sounds but not of the congruence of the bimodal stimuli. The valence and arousal scores changed depending on the congruence of the bimodal stimuli. These results suggest that the congruence of bimodal stimuli affects the subjective perception of emotion.

In this paper we apply the two methods described in the companion paper (4) to experimentally recorded spike trains from two preparations, the crayfish claw and the cat striate cortex. Neurons in the crayfish claw control system produced favored patterns in 23 of 30 spike trains under a variety of experimental conditions. Favored patterns generally consisted of 3-7 spikes and were found to be in excess by both quantized and template methods. Spike trains from area 17 of the lightly anesthetized cat showed favored patterns in 16 of 27 cases (in quantized form). Some patterns were also found to be favored in template form; these were not as abundant in the cat data as in the crayfish data. Most firing of the cat neurons occurred at times near stimulation, and the observed patterns may represent stimulus information. Favored patterns generally contained up to 7 spikes. No obvious correlations between identified neurons or experimental conditions and the generation of favored patterns were apparent from these data in either preparation. This work adds to the existing evidence that pattern codes are available for use by the nervous system. The potential biological significance of pattern codes is discussed.

Response Information

Repetition-effects (Bertelson, 1965) were examined in three serial self-paced choice-response tasks in which each response was made to all members of a class of more than one signal, and in one task in which eight different responses were each made to one of eight different signals. Three kinds of transition between successive responses occur in such tasks: transitions between Identical responses where the same signal and response are immediately repeated, transitions between Equivalent responses where the same response is made to a new signal and transitions between New responses where neither signal nor response are repeated. The relative reaction-times for these three classes of events were found to vary as a function of stimulus information load, as a function of response information load and as a function of the level of practice which subjects attained in the task in question. These variations allow some comment on the utility of recent models for serial and parallel stimulus analysis as explanatory constructs for the repetition-effect.
