Causal manipulation of functional connectivity in a specific neural pathway during behaviour and at rest
Published 2015“…Moreover, we show that strengthening connectivity between these nodes has effects on a wider network of areas, such as decreasing coupling in a parallel motor programming stream. A control experiment revealed that identical TMS pulses at identical frequencies caused no change in fMRI-measured functional connectivity when the inter-pulse-interval was too long for Hebbian-like plasticity.…”

When seeing doesn't matter: assessing the after-effects of tactile distractor processing in the blind and the sighted.
Published 2011“…Although the blind participants handled the tactile stimuli with ease, we found no evidence that the size of the tactile NP effect diminished. In two control experiments with sighted participants, we varied the processing difficulty in the visual and tactile modality and found that both modality and processing difficulty had an effect on the size of NP. …”

Human θ burst stimulation enhances subsequent motor learning and increases performance variability.
Published 2011“…Behavioral analysis and modeling suggested that iTBS increased performance variability, which correlated with learning outcome. A control experiment confirmed the increase in motor output variability by showing that iTBS increased the dispersion of involuntary transcranial magnetic stimulation-evoked thumb movements. …”

Chemical and biochemical sensing with modified single walled carbon nanotubes.
Published 2003“…Though coupling can be controlled, to a degree, through variation of tube oxidative pre-activation chemistry, careful control experiments and observations made by atomic force microscopy suggest that immobilization is strong, physical and does not require covalent bonding. …”

Studying complexity in health services research: desperately seeking an overdue paradigm shift

The role for simulations in theory construction for the social sciences: case studies concerning divergent modes of religiosity
Published 2012“…Many of these predictions have already been tested against contemporary and longitudinal evidence, using the methods of both qualitative case study and large-scale survey, and some of the mechanisms responsible for the patterns observed have been investigated by means of controlled experiments. Nevertheless, in simulating the patterns of religious transmission and transformation predicted by the modes theory we discovered numerous aspects that were underspecified, generating new hypotheses for investigation in future empirical research. …”

Social learning in models and minds
Published 2024“…Inferences from cognitive complexity to social specificity, made by those who favour rich interpretations (‘mentalists’), call for non-social control experiments. A parsimonious model that fits current data is a good start, but carefully designed experiments are needed to distinguish models that tell us how social learning could be done from those that tell us how it is really done.…”

Organocatalytic Ring-Opening Polymerization of Cyclic Esters Mediated by Highly Active Bifunctional Iminophosphorane Catalysts
Published 2014“…The formation of block copolymers by sequential monomer addition and the use of macroinitiators such as monomethoxy-terminated poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) were also demonstrated using the catalyst system. Control experiments using nonbifunctional N-alkyl iminophosphorane 5 demonstrated the roles of both components of the bifunctional catalyst in the ROP reaction. …”

Seeing and hearing speech excites the motor system involved in speech production.
Published 2003“…This effect was only seen in response to stimulation of the left hemisphere; stimulation of the right hemisphere produced no changes in motor-evoked potentials in any of the conditions. In a control experiment, the size of the motor-evoked potentials elicited in the muscles of the right hand did not differ among conditions, suggesting that speech-related changes in excitability are specific to the lip muscles. …”

Effect of solvent/additives ratio on cellulose acetate dialysis membrane formation and urea clearance
Published 2005“…Higher acetic acid/PEG ratio induced the formation of finger like structure macrovoids whilst dense spongy structures were found with lower acetic acid/PEG ratios. However, control experiment showed that the presence of PEG in the dope formulations is essential in order to increase the dialysis membrane performance.…”
