Stimulus Modality
From CogPOwiki
Definition
This is short hand for a relationship between the stimulus and the sensory system activated by that stimulus.
The Stimulus in an experimental condition has_stimulus_modality(X) because X is the sensory sytem which is activated by the (occurent or continuant playing the role of) Stimulus while the subject is perceiving that stimulus. A single stimulus may have multiple stimulus modalities.
In short, 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?
