Abstract

The parameters of pulse frequency, duration, and intensity were tested sequentially following preliminary training to press a lever to turn off subcortical shock. Latency of the escape response was inversely related to current intensity, pulse duration and pulse frequency of square-wave brain stimulation. From Psyc Abstracts 36:02:2DE33B.
