Covariance terms for initial delays have a negative sum in 241 ds000030 scanner records

This work examines how the shared initial delay contributes to covariance between two task-part stop-signal reaction time (SSRT) scores in 241 scanner records from OpenNeuro ds000030 version 1.0.0. In chronological and interleaved splits, the signed sum of the initial-delay covariance terms was −7,835.899064 ms² and −7,854.068729 ms², respectively. The corresponding SSRT score covariances were 4,467.827207 and 4,676.747966 ms². A diagnostic score that adds the initial delay had higher Spearman correlation across parts, but it is not an additional SSRT estimate and does not establish improved measurement or a causal effect of training. The scores use scheduled and recorded delay fields whose physical sound timing is not verified. The fixed sample, 16 STOP trials per half, participant-bootstrap intervals, sensitivity checks, numerical verification, and source limitations are reported in the main text and original files.

    This work uses its expression of scanner score as a GO value minus initial delay minus subsequent delay change. The new code calculates the nine covariance terms for two scanner task parts, rather than training-to-scanner pairs.

    [Legacy relation: reproduces] New code calculates its full-task and two fixed-half score outputs again. All 5,320 numeric fields in 1,330 rows agree within 1e-8 ms. This work does not do its random-split analysis again.

    Its distinction between constant NULL onset values and active-row order corrected this work's first timing notes. The new code measures the NULL values and active-row order directly.

    This work uses its 269 source files, their size and hash manifest, and its full-task sample rule. They give the scanner data and the fixed 241-person sample.
