From: Fast neural learning in dogs: A multimodal sensory fMRI study
Experimental design with conditioned stimuli. Two novel stimuli were repeatedly presented during three scanning sessions, each devoted to one stimulus modality. One stimulus was associated with food (Reward), one associated with nothing (No Reward). (A) Presentation of pineapple object by owner to dog in MRI bore during visual modality session. (B) Presentation of odorants to dog in MRI bore via experimenter-controlled olfactometer during olfactory modality session. The owner remained in front of the dog. (C) Presentation of pseudoword Frabjous to owner projected above MRI bore opening during verbal modality session. The owner spoke the projected word five times per trial.
