Brain potentials and self-paced random number generation in humans.
Random number generation (RNG) requires executive control. A novel paradigm using the eight drum pads of an electronic drum set as an input device was used to test 15 healthy subjects who engaged in random or ordered number generation (ONG). Brain potentials time-locked to the drum-beats revealed a more negative response during RNG compared to ONG which had a left frontal distribution. Source a...
متن کاملBrain potentials index executive functions during random number generation.
The generation of random sequences is considered to tax different executive functions. To explore the involvement of these functions further, brain potentials were recorded in 16 healthy young adults while either engaging in random number generation (RNG) by pressing the number keys on a computer keyboard in a random sequence or in ordered number generation (ONG) necessitating key presses in th...
متن کاملConcentration independent random number generation in tile self-assembly
In this paper we introduce the robust coin flip problem in which one must design an abstract tile assembly system (aTAM system) whose terminal assemblies can be partitioned such that the final assembly lies within either partition with exactly probability 1/2, regardless of what relative concentration assignment is given to the tile types of the system. We show that robust coin flipping is poss...
متن کاملRandom Number Generation in gretl
The increasing popularity and complexity of random number intensive methods such as simulation and bootstrapping in econometrics requires researchers to have a good grasp of random number generation in general, and the specific generators that they employ in particular. Here, we discuss the random number generation options, their specifications, and their implementations in gretl. We also asses...
متن کاملAccuracy in Random Number Generation
The generation of continuous random variables on a digital computer encounters a problem of accuracy caused by approximations and discretization error. These in turn impose a bias on the simulation results. An ideal discrete approximation of a continuous distribution and a measure of error are proposed. Heuristic analysis of common methods for transforming uniform deviates to other continuous r...
