AuthorYearSensory Challenge Protocol descriptionPresentation

Chang et al.2012Modification of the original SCP: (1) addition of standard tone at 84 dB; (2) siren at 78 dB6 stimuli × 10 trials × 3 s at pseudorandom 12–17 s ISI
Lane et al.2010Modification of the original SCP: (1) used a classic steady tone at 78 dB; (2) fire engine at 84 dB6 stimuli × 10 trials × 3 s at variable 10–17 s ISI
Mangeot et al.2001Used the original SCP5 stimuli × 10 trials × 3 s at pseudorandom 15 or 19 s ISI × 20 s between sensory domains
McIntosh et al.1999Used the original SCP5 stimuli × 10 trials × 3 s at pseudorandom 15 or 19 s ISI × 20 s between sensory domains
Miller et al.2012Used the original SCP5 stimuli × 10 trials × 3 s at pseudorandom 15–19 s ISI × 20 s between sensory domains
Schaaf et al.2003Used the original SCP5 stimuli × 10 trials × 3 s at pseudorandom 12–17 s ISI × 20 s between sensory domains
Schaaf et al.2010Modification of the original SCP: (1) addition of a tone at 84 dB; (2) siren at 78 dB; (3) 2-minute auditory tone at 75 dB7 stimuli × 10 trials × 3 s at pseudorandom 12–17 s ISI × 20 s between sensory domains
Schaaf et al.2015Modification of the original SCP: (1) addition of a tone at 84 dB; (2) siren at 78 dB; (3) 2-minute auditory tone at 75 dB7 stimuli × 10 trials × 3 s at pseudorandom 12–17 s ISI × 20 s between sensory domains
Schoen et al.2009Modification of the original SCP: (1) used a classic steady tone at 78 dB; (2) fire engine at 84 dB6 stimuli × 10 trials × 3 s at variable 10–17 s ISI
Su et al.2010Used the original SCP6 stimuli × 8 trials × 3 s at pseudorandom 12–17 s ISI
