Usage: technical; used primarily in neuroscience, psychology, and experimental research contexts

Examples

• The researchers measured poststimulus brain activity using fMRI scans.
• Poststimulus responses were recorded for 500 milliseconds after each visual presentation.
• The poststimulus period showed significant neural activation in the visual cortex.
• Participants' reaction times during the poststimulus interval were faster than expected.
• The study analyzed poststimulus electrophysiological data from multiple electrode sites.
