            This category is a catch-all for visuoattention paradigms.  Examples include:  subjects press a button when a visual target (letters, bars, circles, asterisks, LEDs, etc) appears; subjects detect changes in luminance, shape, or color of visual stimuli; subjects fixate on a central stimuli while ignoring peripheral distractors.  Also includes cued, attention shift, and divided attention paradigms.

Experimental conditions are the subsets of an experiment that define the relevant experimental manipulation.
    CONTRASTS
    
        
          
You must specify conditions before you can define contrasts.
In the Cognitive Atlas, we define a contrast as any function over experimental conditions. The simplest contrast is the indicator value for a specific condition; more complex contrasts include linear or nonlinear functions of the indicator across different experimental conditions.
    INDICATORS
    
        
            accuracy
        
    
        
            reaction time
        
    
        
            eye movements
        
    
    
    An indicator is a specific quantitative or qualitative variable that is recorded for analysis. These may include behavioral variables (such as response time, accuracy, or other measures of performance) or physiological variables (including genetics, psychophysiology, or brain imaging data).
