Some years ago we described a negative (Ne) and a later positive (Pe) deflection in the event-related brain potentials (ERPs) of incorrect choice reactions [Falkenstein, M., Hohnsbein, J., Hoormann, J., Blanke, L., 1990. In: Brunia, C.H.M., Gaillard, A.W.K., Kok, A. (Eds.), Psychophysiological Brain Research. Tilburg Univesity Press, Tilburg, pp. 192-195. Falkenstein, M., Hohnsbein, J., Hoormann, J., 1991. Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, 78, 447-455]. Originally we assumed the Ne to represent a correlate of error detection in the sense of a mismatch signal when representations of the actual response and the required response are compared. This hypothesis was supported by the results of a variety of experiments from our own laboratory and that of Coles [Gehring, W. J., Goss, B., Coles, M.G.H., Meyer, D.E., Donchin, E., 1993. Psychological Science 4, 385-390. Bernstein, P.S., Scheffers, M.K., Coles, M.G.H., 1995. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance 21, 1312-1322. Scheffers, M.K., Coles, M. G.H., Bernstein, P., Gehring, W.J., Donchin, E., 1996. Psychophysiology 33, 42-54]. However, new data from our laboratory and that of Vidal et al. [Vidal, F., Hasbroucq, T., Bonnet, M., 1999. Biological Psychology, 2000] revealed a small negativity similar to the Ne also after correct responses. Since the above mentioned comparison process is also required after correct responses it is conceivable that the Ne reflects this comparison process itself rather than its outcome. As to the Pe, our results suggest that this is a further error-specific component, which is independent of the Ne, and hence associated with a later aspect of error processing or post-error processing. Our new results with different age groups argue against the hypotheses that the Pe reflects conscious error processing or the post-error adjustment of response strategies. Further research is necessary to specify the functional significance of the Pe.

This is the start page for a tutorial that will give you a step-by-step introduction into performing P300 BCI experiments with BCI2000.The tutorial is intended to provide some theoretical background, and to make you familiar with the most important practical aspects of BCI experiments.

Before working through this tutorial, you should be familiar with the nature of EEG signals, and the basics of EEG measurement. Also, the tutorial assumes that you are familiar with your amplifier, and have all the necessary driver software installed according to the amplifier's manual.

Glass Eye 2000 is software to help hobbyists and professionals design stained glass windows. It is a tool for creating patterns with beautiful design lines and glass. Its purpose is like that of a word processor, except that instead of helping to create documents it helps you to create designs.

Skeptics may wonder if computerizing an art form results in better art. We reply that programs like this are not intended to replace the artistic process but are here to give the artist one more tool for producing art. Word processors do not stifle the writing process as long as one's focus is on the writing and not the computer.

You are soon to discover that the designs you will create with Glass Eye 2000 are more malleable than any paper-and-pencil design. Imagine being able to resize your design to any dimensions. Or to see, in an instant, the effects of different glass textures or lead widths. Or to move a lead line and have all connecting lines readjust accordingly to maintain their connections. All this is possible here, and by spending less time erasing, redrawing, aligning and copying you can spend more time on the art of design.

Glass Eye 2000 was created by people with a love for the art of stained glass and a devotion to quality software. We hope that with this program your stained glass designs are more fun to create and are more beautiful than ever before.

I suggest that five steps to practicing competitive programming. Ways to practice is different from a person to a person, so I don't think you must do this way. But this is one of the effective way I guess. (I think this is not the best because the way to fit is different among people.) I hope it will be useful even a little. (Also, sorry for my poor English.)

Please comment if you have suggestions and questions of this entry, and my way to practice.

But sir , If everyone read your post and star solving according to your advice , then is it possible to get high rating for all?? As codeforces rating system says The summation of rating of contestant is equal before and after contest :)

Actually, no. Given the same resources, different people will use it differently. Given that everyone practices the same problemset, some may still turn out to be better than others because people understand stuff and think differently.

I know you solved only problem E in Codeforces Round #415, and your rating increased.
But do you think your rating always increases if you just solve Div1 E problem? I don't think so, because there are "Div1 A and B is easy, and Div1 C is easier than normal" contest.

And the problem there is the fact, that the point differences do not reflect the difficulty increase. Quite often solving C and D is worth more or the same as E and sometimes even more than F. So if I managed to solve F or E I do not have time to solve both C and D.

As regards AtCoder. The idea of a point value is: AtCoderPointValue/2 = TCPointValue. And even though solving 2 x 250 pts in TC is nowhere near solving 500, that problem does not exist, as there are 3 problems only and each problem is worth more than the sum of all easier problems. In AtCoder there are more problems, so you could get a higher score by solving more simpler problems.

In fact, I did a lecture in CombNaf, which is one of the programming event in Japan. The tutorial that I used in CombNaf was from grey to red because my rating is AtCoder was middle of orange then. (Link)

But this is Japanese version, so I have to translate from Japanese to English. In this process, I decided to change the target from AtCoder to Codeforces. But my rating is 2051, middle of purple.

So I thought that I cannot write how to practice for red then in CF Version.

But these days I'm praciting TopCoder Div1 Med for becoming red. There are a lot of concept-main problems in TopCoder Div1Med.

1) I was not aware of AtCoder but it seems AtCoder's contests have tasks A,B,C,D ..., so what do you mean when you say "ABC-C in AtCoder."? Do you mean to solve tasks A, B, and C? Then what does the "-C" refer to? Also in step 2 you say "ARC-D in AtCoder", what is "R" for?

2) How exactly can the bingo approach help us in step 1? Is it to solve at least 5 problems horizontally, diagonally or vertically? What's the point of your middle box with the "Is it rated?" question?

What I imagine about rating 2600 (2600 in Topcoder, 3000 in AtCoder): You can write a code very fast without fatal bugs. You know almost every typical algorithms, including LCA, Dinic, FFT, finding bridges, O(N^2 log K) for k-fibonacci, etc.

After 2600, you have to solve once boss problem in the problem set in several rounds, and many problems are not solved by knowledge, reflection or one-step consideration. Those are all creative, ad-hoc problems.

On the other hand, although I don't like to say this aloud, from this rating zone I feel your latent ad-hoc (or mathematical) power makes a lot of difference. It is often said that IMO gold medalists can be very strong in programming contests once they know typical algorithms and get used to implementation. (Even if the difference derives from how they trained their mathematical skills when they were young,) you can't change what you are. I realized that I wasn't a genius, when I lost to a lot of OI friends in national math olympiad after studying hundreds of hours for that.

But that doesn't mean you can't become a skilled competitive programmer. The practice I said surely change your ad-hoc skills in a long view. Sharpen your intuition, tackle novel problems with it. Neither your friends' solution, official summary, nor textbooks help you training your intuition. Find your way of treating with the problems. I've advanced to DCJ2017 Finals with my intuitive answer of E-large.

(P.S. it's often said that a lot of CF hard problems are typical with demanding implementation. If it's truly so, assume the goal as "becoming 3200 in AtCoder" or "advancing GCJ finals" instead. If you're Cuban or Quebecois etc, then I'm sorry for not giving good alternatives to you.)

I wrote this comment because 1 month passed after published this blog.

Actually, there are many people who wrote a blog which is about "How to achieve 2000+ rating?" or something that relate about rating 2000, from a few years ago to now. Here is the example:

It is too bad about topcoder. This blog finally motivated me to create a TC account. The problems were of course nice but I am not going to spend an hour learning how to submit solutions and deal with their host of UI problems. It makes me wonder how it got so popular in the first place.

Based on his research the author concluded that to improve we need the right level of challenge. If its too easy you don't improve, if its too hard you give up. I think this current article is just about that principle put to use.

I think some people who can solve problem faster could go to 2100 in this way because they can participate in Div2 contest.

Although this, participants whose rating is 2099 should get

Hey, this blog seems very old. I can solve 2 problems of div2 but I am not able to get a rating above 1250. And the distribution of question according to divisions have been changed a lot. Can someone give a link to any latest blog?
