During which stage of sleep are our brain waves more similar to awake than the other stages and is often referred to as paradoxical sleep?

A researcher is conducting a survey of political opinions of people living in Weatherford.  The researcher is sampling the population of Weatherford by putting up flyers around town asking people to fill out the survey.  The researcher, however, is worried that the characteristics of the people who choose to fill out the survey will be different from the overall population.  Which term below best describes the situation in which the people who choose to participate differ significantly from the population?

While Naturalistic Observation studies offer us a rare glimpse at natural behaviors of both animals and people, they are not without their own difficulties.  Primary among these concerns is the fear that those that are being observed won’t act normally because they know they are being watched.  This is known as the .  As well, researchers using this methodology have to work against their own tendencies to see what they want to see, which is known as .

In class, we said that an action potential is an all or none process, and will only be produced if the voltage of the axon reaches the threshold.  What happens to the voltage of the axon when the threshold is NOT reached?
