[solved] Saving an object for use in later cycles of a loop

jacobs269

I have a loop that has 2 cycles.

Within each cycle I find 2 target images by taking 4 images from 4 separate lists (1 from each list), which compose a new list. I then shuffle this list and take the first item as the target for a training phase and the second item as the target for a test phase.

The issue is that although my training target should NOT be consistent across cycles, the test target DOES NEED TO BE CONSISTENT across trials. I am concerned now with the latter of these two issues.

So is there anyway to save the test target (found within the loop) for later use, possibly by saving it in a folder?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi,

It's difficult to give a concrete answer, because you don't describe how you've implemented this selection procedure. I'm assuming that you use an inline_script for this? Could you post the code here + any additional information that would help us understand the structure and requirements of your experiment?

Cheers,

It seems that your requirement for the test target to be consistent can be achieved by creating the appropriate python code before running the loop. So it is not a matter of "saving" anything to a folder but only one of creating the right sized python lists/arrays and then using code to enforce desired constraints (a type of quasi randomization from your description)

I appreciate both of you guys taking the time to respond. I was having some funky localization issues with the python script, but I was able to fix it.

Thanks
