Before revision: This method earned its name because specifying a signal has been reversed such that the researcher manipulates what signal is presented to the participants from its origins in neurophysiology, where cross-correlations between white noise stimuli and sparsely occurring neuronal spikes could be computed quicker when only computing it for segments preceding the spikes.
