Responding to the suggestion that this article be merged with Eyeblink conditioning[edit]

ABSOLUTELY NOT!! ISI is a general experimental term that applies to a LOT more than just eyeblink conditioning. There are many, many other areas of research that use ISI, areas that have nothing at all to do with eyeblink conditioning, eyes, blinking, or even conditioning. To do so would greatly diminish the scope and subsequent understanding of what ISI is and how it operates in research paradigms other than eyeblink conditioning.

  • In my opinion, it is not a good idea to merge the two. For example, fMRI studies in cognitive and motor behaviour use the term ISI as well. Because of that, I strongly feel that it should not be included as part of eyeblink conditioning.

I completely disagree! ISI is involved in so many psychological applications that have nothing to do with eyeblink conditioning; For instance John Polich discussed ISI influence on eliciting P300: "P300 amplitude is determined by target-to-target interval".

I agree with the comments above, I will now remove this suggestion as there are no comments suggesting this merge goes ahead194.83.140.28 17:37, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interstimulus interval with finite stimulus display time[edit]

Hi, a question: If an image is displayed for 2 seconds and then there is nothing displayed for 3 seconds, then another image for 2 seconds and so on... Is the interstimulus interval 3 seconds or 5 seconds? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.83.140.28 (talk) 13:13, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
