permissible_values:
  visual:
    text: visual
    description: Anything seen -- photographs, faces, scenes, words on a screen, film
      clips, gratings, a fixation cross. The commonest modality in the literature
      by a wide margin, and the one a named stimulus set usually implies.
  auditory:
    text: auditory
    description: Anything heard -- speech, tones, music, environmental sounds, noise
      bursts.
  tactile:
    text: tactile
    description: Touch or somatosensory delivery -- brushing, vibration, pressure,
      temperature, electrical or noxious stimulation of the skin.
  olfactory:
    text: olfactory
    description: An odour delivered to the nose.
  gustatory:
    text: gustatory
    description: A taste delivered to the mouth -- sucrose, quinine, juice, a tasteless
      control.
  interoceptive:
    text: interoceptive
    description: A stimulus acting on internal state rather than an external sense
      -- gastric or bladder distension, inspiratory load, infusion, induced hunger
      or thirst.
  none:
    text: none
    description: A positive assertion that no stimulus was presented -- resting state,
      or a task driven entirely by instruction or self-generated thought. Not the
      same as leaving the field empty, which says nobody looked.
