Synonyms

Parent Entity

Stimulus

Example

A tone that is heard by a subject in an experiment is characterized as having an auditory modality. If the subject tastes something, that stimulus is characterized as having the gustatory modality.

Logical Restrictions

Any stimulus will be characterized as having at least one stimulus modality.

Comments

In BrainMap (2009) this term refers to "the sensory mechanism through which the subject was stimulated". That is, what was used to stimulate one of their five senses while they were in the scanner?

A single stimulus may have multiple stimulus modalities.
