Accessory Signal

To understand the relation between the Simon effect and the time course of relevant and irrelevant code activations, we presented the response signal before or simultaneously with a go/no-go signal in an accessory Simon task. A peripheral accessory signal could appear before, simultaneously with or after the go/no-go signal. We observed a Simon effect when the accessory signal was presented just before or simultaneously with the go signal, irrespective of the delay between response and go/no-go signal. The Simon effect reversed when the accessory signal was presented 150 ms after the go signal when response information was presented first and the participants had to make a go/no-go decision afterwards or when they had to select a response when the go signal appeared. The reversal did not occur when both decisions were required at the same time. Our data suggest that the integration and release of event files are involved in the occurrence of the reversal. Response activation induced by the accessory stimulus facilitates/interferes with the response when it is presented before the event file is integrated. When the accessory stimulus is presented after integration, the automatically activated response is inhibited, causing a delay in the corresponding reaction times.

The German X-ray astronomy satellite ROSAT (launched 1990 June 1) performed an all-sky survey (from 1990 Jul 30 till 1991 Jan 26) with the Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (2 deg FoV, .1–2.4 keV) covering 96% of the sky. Analysis of bright X-ray sources suggests PSPC positions can be accurately determined to within 30 arcsec, and 1‥2 arcmin for soft weak ones. We have examined the survey data for detections from among a list of 189 symbiotic and symbiotic-like objects compiled by Vaidis (1988) with own extensions, chosen for completeness. For 178 objects, all-sky data was available. Standard Analysis Software System (SASS) and EXtended Standard Analysis Software packages (EXSAS) both use a three-step approach to detect sources. After quality screening, a sliding-window algorithm (LD) locates bright sources. These are excluded in the 2D-spline interpolated smoothed background map. A second sliding window MD runs on the background subtracted event files. All possible sources were then tested by maximum likelihood in the background-subtracted, exposure-corrected image. If LD, MD, or ML did not detected a source at the optical position, an upper limit ML program tried to find enhanced emission. For EXSAS, photon event files contain all photons within 20 arcmin radius around a source. Cut radii, background determination, and other parameters can be iteratively improved.

Abstract. Gilles de la Tourette syndrome is a common, multifaceted neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by multiple motor and vocal tics. Although numerous neuroanatomical and neurophysiological particularities have been documented, there is no general concept or overarching theory to explain the pathophysiology of Tourette syndrome. Given the premonitory urges that precede tics and the altered sensorimotor processing in Tourette syndrome, the “Theory of Event Coding” (TEC) seems to be an attractive framework. TEC assumes that perceptions and actions are bound together and encoded using the same neural code to form so-called “event files.” Depending on the strength of the binding between perception and action, partial repetition of features of an event file can lead to increasing cost because existing event files need to be reconfigured. This is referred to as “partial repetition costs”, which appear to be increased in Tourette patients. This indicates stronger binding within “event files” in Tourette.
