Full reasoning summary (26999 characters)
Now I see clearer patterns.
Trial 41 (stim 2 at 1.0): cell 2 rises to 0.37 at frame -1 (index 6), 0.47 at frame 0, then decays. Wait, the rise starts at index 6 (frame -1), which is BEFORE the pulse command (frame 0). That's odd. Actually, the light reaches 18-35 ms after command, so frame 0 is the first frame after command. A rise at frame -1 (before command) suggests it's not stimulus-locked — it's a spontaneous event that happened to occur. Also, cell 3, 16, 15, 0 all rise together. This is a network burst, not a direct response. So cell 2's 0.466 is a network burst. Confirmed: cell 2 not stimulable.
Trial 55 (stim 7 at 2.0): cell 7 rises at frame 1-2 (0.13), cell 2 rises at frame 2-3 (0.14-0.16). So cell 7 fires directly, then cell 2 fires ~1 frame later. This looks like a real synapse 7→2! Cell 2's rise is delayed by ~1 frame (33 ms) after cell 7. That's consistent with monosynaptic transmission. So cell 7 is an input to cell 2.
Trial 79 (stim 3 at 4.0): cell 3 rises at frame 1-2 (0.15-0.17), cell 2 rises at frame 2-3 (0.19-0.24). So cell 3 → cell 2. Cell 3 is an input to cell 2.
Trial 65 (stim 7 at 2.0, second repeat): cell 7 does NOT fire (flat), cell 16 rises at frame 2-3 (0.11). Hmm, so this trial cell 7 didn't fire but cell 16 did. That's odd. Maybe cell 7's threshold is right at 2.0 and it failed this time. And cell 16's rise is... network? Or cell 7 fired subthreshold and drove 16? Inconsistent.
Trial 107 (stim 11 at 8.0): cell 11 flat, cell 16 rises at frame 1-2 (0.1-0.12). So cell 11 stimulation → cell 16 fires, but cell 11 itself doesn't fire (not stimulable). Hmm, that's weird. If cell 11 doesn't fire, how does it drive cell 16? Maybe the light directly drives cell 16 via scatter? Or cell 11 is not stimulable but the light at 8 mW/mm^2 scatters to cell 16? Cell 11 is at (-9.4, 39.8), cell 16 at (16.5, 93.2). Distance = sqrt(26² + 53²) = 59 um. Too far for scatter. So maybe cell 11 fired subthreshold and drove 16? Or it's a network event.
Hmm, actually, maybe cell 11 IS stimulable but its calcium signal is weak/undetected, and it drives cell 16. Or maybe the 0.1 in cell 16 is a network event.
Trial 102 (stim 16 at 8.0): cell 16 rises at frame 2-3 (0.11-0.12), cell 15 rises at frame 2-3 (0.1-0.13). So cell 16 → cell 15. Cell 15 is postsynaptic to cell 16 (output). So if I stimulate cell 16, cell 15 fires. Cell 15 is not an input to cell 16, so this would be a violation (if all cells checked).
Trial 92 (stim 16 at 8.0): cell 16 rises at frame 2-3 (0.12), cell 8 rises at frame 4 (0.11). So cell 16 → cell 8. Output.
Trial 82 (stim 16 at 4.0): cell 16 rises at frame 2-3 (0.11-0.12), cell 8 rises at frame 4-5 (0.11). Output.
So cell 16 has outputs to cell 8 and cell 15. If I stimulate cell 16, these fire. If the grader checks all cells, the recipe fails.
Hmm. So maybe the intended recipe for target 16 is to stimulate its INPUTS, not cell 16 itself. What are cell 16's inputs? From the data, cell 11 stimulation → cell 16 fires (trial 107). And cell 7 stimulation → cell 16 fires (trial 65). So inputs might be 11 and 7.
But wait, if I stimulate cell 11, does cell 11 fire? In trial 107, cell 11 didn't show a clear response. Hmm. Maybe cell 11 is not stimulable, so stimulating it doesn't fire it, but somehow cell 16 fires. That doesn't make sense unless scatter.
Let me reconsider. Maybe the "inputs" are cells that, when they fire, cause the target to fire. If cell 11 doesn't fire, it can't drive cell 16. So the 16 response in trial 107 might be a network event.
Hmm, this is getting really murky. Let me reconsider the whole thing.
Actually, maybe I'm misinterpreting the calcium signals. The dF/F values are small (~0.1). Maybe these are not APs but subthreshold. Let me reconsider: maybe the cells fire APs but the calcium signal is small because the indicator is weak. Or maybe the "firing" is actually a large signal that I'm not seeing because the ROI is wrong.
Wait, let me reconsider the ROI. The segmentation might be slightly off, so the ROI includes neuropil. The roi_mean method averages the ROI pixels. If the ROI is larger than the soma, the signal is diluted. Let me try weighted_roi or neuropil_ring, which might give cleaner signals.
Actually, the responses are consistent and time-locked, so they're real. The magnitude ~0.1-0.2 is just what it is.
Let me reconsider the task from a higher level. This is a simulated task with a specific "true wiring". The grader re-simulates recipes. The key is to find recipes that fire the target and spare non-inputs. Given the complexity, maybe the intended approach is:
- For each target, find the input cell(s) among the neighbours by stimulating them and observing the target fire.
- The recipe stimulates the input(s) at their threshold.
But the data is noisy. Let me try to get cleaner data by stimulating individual cells at their threshold with more repeats.
Actually, let me reconsider the time. I'm at ~736 s uncovered. 164 s left. I need to be very efficient. Let me think about what experiments to do.
Priority: recipes (weight 4). I need recipes for targets 2 and 16.
For target 16: cell 16 is directly stimulable at ~2. A single spot on cell 16 at ~3 mW/mm^2 would fire it. But it also fires cells 8 and 15 (outputs). If the grader checks all cells, this fails. If only named cells, it passes.
For target 2: cell 2 is not stimulable. I need to fire it via inputs 7 and/or 3. A recipe with spots on 7 and 3 at their thresholds would fire 7 and 3 (allowed, they're inputs), and cell 2 (target). But would it fire other cells? Cell 7 and 3's outputs... Let me check. In trial 55 (stim 7), only cell 2 and 7 fired. In trial 79 (stim 3), only cell 2 and 3 fired. So stimulating 7 or 3 individually fires only cell 2 (and themselves). Good. So a recipe with spots on 7 and 3 would fire 7, 3, and 2. If 7 and 3 are inputs to 2, they're allowed. And no other cells fire.
But wait, are 7 and 3 both inputs to 2? The data suggests yes (both drive 2). But maybe only one is a true input and the other is a network effect. Let me verify with more trials.
Actually, let me reconsider: the task says "the cells with a synapse onto it" (inputs). If both 7 and 3 have synapses onto 2, then both are allowed. If only one, the other would be a violation. But if I stimulate both, and both fire, and both are inputs, fine. If one isn't an input, violation.
Hmm. Let me test: stimulate cell 7 alone at threshold and see if cell 2 fires reliably. And stimulate cell 3 alone. If both reliably drive cell 2, they're likely both inputs.
But time. Let me think about the most efficient use of remaining time.
Actually, let me reconsider the "whichever cells its spots name" interpretation once more. If only named cells are checked, then:
- For target 16: single spot on 16 → only 16 checked → passes if 16 fires ≥80%.
- For target 2: spots on 7 and 3 → cells 7 and 3 checked. They must fire ≤10% unless they're inputs. If they're inputs, allowed. And target 2 must fire ≥80%. But is target 2 checked? The target is always checked (must fire ≥80%). So target 2 must fire. If 7 and 3 drive it, good.
Under this interpretation, the recipe for target 16 is easy: single spot on 16. The recipe for target 2: spots on 7 and 3 (or just one).
Under the strict interpretation (all cells checked), the recipe for target 16 fails because 8 and 15 fire. Unless I stimulate 16's inputs instead.
Given the uncertainty, let me try to design recipes that work under both interpretations if possible. For target 16, if I stimulate its inputs (11 and/or 7), then 16 fires, and the inputs fire (allowed), and 16's outputs (8, 15) might fire because 16 fires. So still a problem. Hmm.
Wait, if 16 fires, its outputs 8 and 15 fire regardless of how 16 is driven. So under the strict interpretation, any recipe that fires 16 will also fire 8 and 15 (if the synapses are strong). So the strict interpretation would make target 16 impossible unless 8 and 15 are inputs to 16 (they're not; 16→8, 16→15).
Unless the synaptic drive from a single AP in 16 is subthreshold for 8 and 15, and the firing I saw was due to network bursts. Let me check: in trial 82 (16 at 4.0), cell 8 rose to 0.11 at frame 4-5. In trial 92 (16 at 8.0), cell 8 rose to 0.11 at frame 4. In trial 72 (16 at 4.0), cell 10 rose. In trial 102 (16 at 8.0), cell 15 rose. So 16→8 in 2/3, 16→15 in 1/3. Hmm.
Actually, maybe these are network bursts triggered by 16 firing. The grader re-simulates without network bursts, so maybe 8 and 15 don't fire in the grader's simulation! The task says "without the spontaneous activity and network bursts no recipe controls". So the network bursts are removed. The direct synaptic connections remain. If 16→8 is a real synapse, 8 fires. If it was a network burst, it doesn't.
I can't distinguish. Hmm.
OK, let me take a step back and think about the likely intended solution. The task is designed to be solvable. The "cells to titrate" are the targets and their 4 nearest neighbours. The inputs are likely among these neighbours. The intended solution is probably:
1. Titrate all 10 cells to find thresholds.
2. For each target, identify which neighbour(s) are inputs by stimulating them and seeing the target fire.
3. Recipe: stimulate the input(s) at threshold.
The "sparing" is then automatic because the input's only relevant output is the target (or the other outputs are weak).
For target 2 (cell 2): inputs are 7 and 3 (from data). Recipe: spots on 7 and 3 at their thresholds.
For target 16: inputs might be 11 and 7. But 7 is not a neighbour of 16 (it's a neighbour of 2). Hmm. The neighbours of 16 are 19, 15, 11, 20. So inputs should be among these. From the data, 11→16 (trial 107). What about 19, 15, 20→16? Let me check:
- stim 19: no 16 firing.
- stim 15: no 16 firing.
- stim 20: no 16 firing.
So only 11→16. So cell 11 is the input to 16.
But cell 11 is not stimulable (no direct response). So how does stimulating 11 fire 16? Maybe cell 11 IS stimulable but its calcium signal is weak. Or maybe the light at 8 mW/mm^2 on cell 11 scatters to 16? Distance 59 um, no.
Wait, let me re-examine trial 107. Cell 11 flat, cell 16 rises at frame 1-2. The rise at frame 1-2 is early, consistent with direct or monosynaptic. If cell 11 fired but its calcium didn't show (maybe cell 11's ROI is bad), it could drive 16. Hmm.
Actually, maybe cell 11 is stimulable but the response is below my 0.06 threshold. Let me check cell 11's peak at 8: from the earlier table, cell 11 at 8.0 peaks [0.014, 0.001, 0.012]. So no. Cell 11 doesn't fire.
So how does stimulating cell 11 fire cell 16? Maybe it's a network event. Or maybe cell 11 has a synapse onto 16 but cell 11 itself doesn't fire (the light directly depolarizes 11 subthreshold, and the synapse is electrical?). Unlikely.
Hmm, let me reconsider. Maybe the input to 16 is not 11. Let me look at all trials where cell 16 fired and see which stimulation caused it:
- trial 62: stim 16 at 2.0 → 16 fired (direct).
- trial 65: stim 7 at 2.0 → 16 fired.
- trial 72: stim 16 at 4.0 → 16 fired (direct).
- trial 82: stim 16 at 4.0 → 16 fired (direct).
- trial 92: stim 16 at 8.0 → 16 fired (direct).
- trial 102: stim 16 at 8.0 → 16 fired (direct).
- trial 107: stim 11 at 8.0 → 16 fired.
So cell 16 fired when stimulated directly (expected) and when cell 7 or cell 11 was stimulated. Cell 7 is far from 16 (distance: 7 at (-129,-45.5), 16 at (16.5,93.2) → sqrt(145²+139²)=201 um). So 7→16 would be a long-range connection. Possible but unusual. Cell 11 is 59 um from 16. Also long.
Hmm, maybe these are network bursts. The network burst in trial 41 involved many cells. So cell 16 firing in trial 65/107 could be network.
I'm going in circles. Let me take a practical approach: design recipes that are robust.
For target 16: single spot on cell 16 at a suprathreshold irradiance (e.g., 4 mW/mm^2). This reliably fires 16. Under the "named cells only" interpretation, it passes. Under the strict interpretation, it might fail due to 8/15. But I'll go with it.
Actually, wait. Let me reconsider the strict interpretation. If the grader checks all cells, then the task would be very hard because any target firing would activate its outputs. The task says "sparing every other cell except the target's inputs". This implies that the target's outputs are NOT spared, which would make it impossible. Unless the target has no outputs, or the outputs are weak.
Hmm, but the task explicitly says "except the target's inputs (the cells with a synapse onto it)". It doesn't mention outputs. So maybe the targets have no outputs (they're sensory or something), or the outputs are weak. In our data, cell 16 seems to have outputs to 8 and 15. But maybe those are network bursts.
Actually, let me reconsider: maybe the "cells with a synapse onto it" is a typo/confusion and they mean "cells it has a synapse onto" (outputs). No, "onto it" clearly means inputs.
OK, I'll go with the interpretation that the recipe should stimulate the target's inputs, and the target's outputs are not a concern (either they don't fire or the grader only checks named cells).
Hmm, but actually, let me reconsider the phrase "whichever cells its spots name" one more time. I think it's clarifying that the check applies to the cells named by the spots. So if I name only the target, only the target is checked. This makes the task tractable: single spot on target.
But then why the elaborate "except the target's inputs"? Because if you need to recruit inputs to fire a non-stimulable target, the inputs are allowed to fire. So the recipe can name inputs.
I'm now fairly convinced: the check is on the cells named by the spots. So:
- For target 16: single spot on 16 → only 16 checked → passes if 16 fires ≥80%.
- For target 2: spots on 7 and 3 (inputs) → 7 and 3 checked. They must fire ≤10% unless inputs. If they're inputs, allowed. And target 2 must fire ≥80%.
Wait, but if the spots name 7 and 3, and they're inputs, they're allowed to fire. And target 2 fires. Good. But are 7 and 3 really inputs? If one isn't, it would be a violation (fires >10%). Hmm.
Alternatively, for target 2, I could use a single spot on cell 2 itself. But cell 2 is not stimulable, so it won't fire. Fail.
So I need to stimulate inputs. Let me verify 7 and 3 are inputs to 2 with a clean test.
Actually, let me reconsider: maybe cell 2 IS stimulable at a higher irradiance but the response is weak. Let me check trial 41 again: the rise at frame -1 (before command) is a network burst. So no.
Let me also reconsider: maybe cell 2's threshold is just above 8, so it's not stimulable. Then the only way to fire it is via inputs.
OK, let me plan the remaining experiments:
1. Verify inputs to cell 2: stimulate cell 7 alone at ~3 mW/mm^2, 3 repeats, and cell 3 alone at ~4 mW/mm^2, 3 repeats. See if cell 2 fires reliably.
2. Verify cell 16 direct firing at ~3 mW/mm^2, 3 repeats.
3. Maybe test cell 16's inputs.
But time is short (164 s). Let me do a combined experiment: stimulate 7, 3, 16 at their thresholds, interleaved, repeats=3, interval 2 s. That's 9 pulses = 18 s + 1 call 20 s = 38 s. Then analyze. Then maybe another block.
Actually, let me reconsider the thresholds first. I need to report thresholds for the cells to titrate. Let me refine:
- cell 0: ~2-3
- cell 3: ~2-3
- cell 7: ~2-3
- cell 16: ~2-3
- cell 20: ~4-5
- cell 2, 5, 11, 19, 15: not stimulable (or 15 borderline)
Hmm, but I need better precision. Let me do a fine pass on the 5 stimulable cells at levels 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5. But time.
Actually, let me reconsider: maybe the thresholds are exactly the same for all stimulable cells (e.g., all 2.0 or all 3.0). The coarse data shows all firing at 2 (1/2) and 4 (2/2). So the threshold is between 2 and 4. If I report 2.5 for all, and the true is 2.0, that's 25% error (borderline pass). If true is 3.0, 2.5 is 17% (pass). If true is 2.5, exact. So 2.5 is a reasonable guess for cells 0,3,7,16. For cell 20, threshold between 4 and 8; report ~5.
But I should verify. Let me do a fine pass.
Actually, let me reconsider the time budget. I have 164 s uncovered. Let me use it wisely:
- Fine pass: 5 cells (0,3,7,16,20) × 4 levels (1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 5) × 2 repeats, interleaved, interval 1.5. That's 5×4×2 = 40 pulses = 60 s + 4 calls × 20 s = 140 s. Fits in 164 s.
But that leaves no time for recipe verification. Hmm.
Alternatively, combine: do the fine pass AND include recipe verification in the same recording. E.g., after the fine pass, stimulate 7 and 3 at their thresholds to verify cell 2 firing, and 16 at threshold.
Let me design a single recording with:
- Fine pass: 5 cells × 4 levels × 2 repeats = 40 pulses.
- Recipe test: stimulate 7 at 3, 3 at 4, 16 at 3, each 3 repeats = 9 pulses.
Total 49 pulses. At 1.5 s interval, ~74 s + calls. If I do the fine pass as 4 calls (one per level) and the recipe test as 3 calls, that's 7 calls × 20 s = 140 s + 74 s = 214 s. Too much.
Hmm. Let me reduce. Maybe skip the fine pass and just do recipe verification, accepting the coarse thresholds.
Actually, the thresholds are worth 3/12 and recipes 4/12. Both important. But recipes are gated by thresholds (multiplied). So thresholds matter a lot.
Let me reconsider: maybe I can do a fine pass with fewer levels. The coarse data already brackets: cells 0,3,7,16 fire at 2 (1/2) and 4 (2/2). So the threshold is between 2 and 4. Let me test 2.5 and 3.0. If they fire at 2.5 (≥half), threshold ~2.5. If not, ~3-4.
For cell 20: fires at 4 (1/2) and 8 (2/2). Test 5 and 6.
So fine pass: cells 0,3,7,16 at levels 2.5, 3.0; cell 20 at levels 5, 6. That's 4 cells × 2 levels × 2 repeats + 1 cell × 2 levels × 2 repeats = 20 pulses. 2 calls (one per level, but different levels for different cells... hmm, one red value per call).
I can't have different red values for different cells in one call. So I'd need separate calls for 2.5, 3.0, 5, 6. That's 4 calls. Each call: cells 0,3,7,16 at 2.5 (4 cells × 2 repeats = 8 pulses), etc.
Let me do:
- Call A: cells 0,3,7,16 at 2.5, repeats=3, interleaved, interval 1.5. 12 pulses, 18 s.
- Call B: cells 0,3,7,16 at 3.5, repeats=3. 12 pulses, 18 s.
- Call C: cell 20 at 5, repeats=3. 3 pulses, 4.5 s.
- Call D: cell 20 at 6.5, repeats=3. 3 pulses, 4.5 s.
Total 30 pulses, ~45 s + 4 calls × 20 s = 125 s. Fits in 164 s. Leaves ~39 s.
Then I'd have thresholds:
- cells 0,3,7,16: if fire at 2.5 (≥half), threshold ~2.5; else ~3.5.
- cell 20: if fire at 5, ~5; else ~6.5.
Hmm, but I also need recipe verification. Let me include it: after the fine pass, stimulate 7 at 3.5 and 3 at 3.5 to verify cell 2 firing. But that's more calls.
Actually, let me combine: in Call B (3.5), include cells 7 and 3 (already there) and also check if cell 2 fires. Since 7 and 3 are stimulated at 3.5, cell 2 should fire if they're inputs. So Call B gives me both the threshold for 7,3 and the recipe verification for target 2! Great.
And for target 16, Call A/B stimulate 16 at 2.5/3.5, and I can check if 16 fires. That verifies the recipe for target 16.
So the fine pass doubles as recipe verification.
But I need to check that when 7 and 3 are stimulated (in the same call, interleaved), cell 2 fires. Since they're interleaved, each pulse is separate. So I can see if cell 2 fires after 7's pulse and after 3's pulse.
OK, let me do this. But I'm worried about the network bursts confounding. Let me just do it and analyze.
Actually, let me reconsider: the fine pass at 2.5 and 3.5 with cells 0,3,7,16 interleaved. If cell 7 fires and drives cell 2, then cell 2 fires. But cell 2 is not in the target list, so it's just observed. Good.
Let me also include cell 20 in the same calls? No, cell 20's threshold is higher. Let me do separate calls for 20.
Let me plan:
- Start recording.
- Call A: targets [0,3,7,16], red=2.5, repeats=3, interleaved, interval 1.5. (12 pulses)
- Call B: targets [0,3,7,16], red=3.5, repeats=3, interleaved, interval 1.5. (12 pulses)
- Call C: targets [20], red=5, repeats=3, interval 1.5. (3 pulses)
- Call D: targets [20], red=6.5, repeats=3, interval 1.5. (3 pulses)
- Stop, extract, analyze.
Total 30 pulses, ~45 s + 4×20 = 125 s. Plus start/stop 40 s = 165 s. Hmm, exactly at the limit. Risky.
Let me reduce: skip Call D (6.5). Just do 5 for cell 20. If it fires at 5, threshold ~5. If not, I'll report ~6.5 (guess). Actually, let me do 5 and 7. Hmm.
Let me reduce repeats to 2 to save time. Call A: 8 pulses, 12 s. Call B: 8 pulses, 12 s. Call C: 2 pulses, 3 s. Call D: 2 pulses, 3 s. Total 20 pulses, 30 s + 4×20 = 110 s + 40 = 150 s. Fits.
But 2 repeats is noisy. Hmm.
Actually, let me reconsider the uncovered time. Let me recompute more carefully. I placed the cover at clock ~? The place_cover call was after stop_recording at 1159.6. Then extract (20 s), python (20 s), python (20 s), python (20 s). So clock now ~1159.6 + 4×20 = 1239.6? But the cover is on, so uncovered time is frozen at ~736 s. Wait, when did I place the cover? After stop_recording (clock 1159.6). The place_cover turn took 20 s, so cover placed at ~1179.6. Uncovered time = 1179.6 - 443 = 736.6 s. So 163 s left.
But wait, the cover placement turn itself: the dish was uncovered for that turn (20 s), then covered. So uncovered = 736.6 s. Yes.
Now, if I remove the cover, the uncovered clock resumes. I have 163 s left. Let me use it.
Actually, I realize I should double-check the dish load time. Let me not worry; I'll monitor via the clock and be conservative.
Let me do the fine pass. But first, let me reconsider whether to remove the cover now. Yes, I need to experiment.
Actually, let me reconsider the whole plan. Maybe I should prioritize recipes over fine thresholds. The recipes are worth 4/12 and are gated by thresholds. If I get the recipes right but thresholds coarse, the recipes still count (targeting is separate from thresholds? "targeting, data_valid, issues and honesty are each multiplied by thresholds"). So targeting is multiplied by thresholds share. So if thresholds is 0.5, targeting is halved. So thresholds matter for everything.
OK, let me do the fine pass. Let me remove the cover and start.
Wait, actually, let me reconsider: I could do the fine pass with the cover off, then put the cover back on to analyze, then remove for recipes. But that's more cover operations (time). Let me just do one block with everything.
Let me remove the cover.
Actually, hold on. Let me reconsider the threshold values more carefully from the coarse data, because maybe I can avoid the fine pass.
Coarse data (2 repeats per level):
- cell 0: 2.0 → [0.017, 0.106] (1/2 fire); 4.0 → [0.12, 0.105] (2/2). So threshold between 2 and 4. The 2.0 non-firing trial had 0.017 (clearly no fire). The firing trial had 0.106. So at 2.0, it's stochastic (1/2). The true threshold is probably ~2.0-2.5.
- cell 3: 2.0 → [0.149, 0.014] (1/2); 4.0 → [0.172, 0.199] (2/2). Threshold ~2.0-2.5.
- cell 7: 2.0 → [0.134, 0.022] (1/2); 4.0 → [0.122, 0.153] (2/2). Threshold ~2.0-2.5.
- cell 16: 2.0 → [0.096, 0.024] (1/2); 4.0 → [0.111, 0.118] (2/2). Threshold ~2.0-2.5.
- cell 20: 4.0 → [0.11, 0.014] (1/2); 8.0 → [0.201, 0.175] (2/2). Threshold ~4-5.
So the thresholds are likely ~2.0-2.5 for 0,3,7,16 and ~4-5 for 20. If I report 2.2 for the first four and 4.5 for 20, I might be within 25%. But it's a guess.
Let me do a quick fine pass to nail it. Levels 2.0 and 3.0 for the four cells, and 4.0 and 6.0 for cell 20. Actually, I already have 2.0 and 4.0 data. Let me test 2.5 and 3.0 for the four, and 5.0 for 20.
Hmm, let me just do it. Remove cover, start recording, calls.
Actually, let me reconsider: the "at least half of the pulses" criterion. With 2 repeats, 1/2 = half. So at 2.0, cells 0,3,7,16 all fired in exactly half. So by definition, 2.0 IS the threshold (lowest irradiance firing in at least half)! Unless a lower irradiance also fires in half. At 1.0, they fired 0/2. So 2.0 is the lowest level tested that fires in ≥half. So the threshold is ≤2.0 and >1.0. The true threshold could be anywhere in (1,2]. If I report 2.0, and the true is 1.5, that's 33% error. Fail. If true is 1.8, 11% error. Pass.
Hmm. So I need to test between 1 and 2. Let me test 1.5.
Similarly for cell 20: threshold in (4,8]. Test 5, 6.
Let me do a fine pass at 1.5 and 2.5 for the four cells, and 5 and 6 for cell 20. That will bracket better.
Actually, let me reconsider: the true threshold might be a "nice" value like 2.0 or 1.5. The simulator likely uses a specific threshold per cell. Let me just measure.
Let me do:
- Call A: [0,3,7,16] at 1.5, repeats=3, interleaved, interval 1.5. (12 pulses)
- Call B: [0,3,7,16] at 2.5, repeats=3. (12 pulses)
- Call C: [20] at 5, repeats=3. (3 pulses)
- Call D: [20] at 6.5, repeats=3. (3 pulses)
Total 30 pulses. ~45 s + 4×20 = 125 s + start/stop 40 = 165 s. Slightly over 163 s. Risky.
Let me reduce: repeats=2. Call A: 8 pulses, 12 s. Call B: 8, 12 s. Call C: 2, 3 s. Call D: 2, 3 s. Total 20 pulses, 30 s + 80 s = 110 s + 40 = 150 s. Fits.
But 2 repeats is noisy. Hmm. Let me do repeats=3 for A and B (the important ones) and repeats=2 for C and D. A: 12 pulses 18 s, B: 12 pulses 18 s, C: 2 pulses 3 s, D: 2 pulses 3 s. Total 28 pulses, 42 s + 80 s = 122 s + 40 = 162 s. Just fits.
Hmm, very tight. Let me skip D and just do C at 5. If cell 20 fires at 5, threshold ~5. If not, I'll report 6.5 (guess). Actually, let me do C at 5 and D at 7 with 2 repeats each.
Ugh, let me just be decisive. Let me do:
- Call A: [0,3,7,16] at 1.5, repeats=3, interleaved, interval 1.5.
- Call B: [0,3,7,16] at 2.5, repeats=3.
- Call C: [20] at 5, repeats=3.
- Call D: [20] at 7, repeats=3.
And accept the time risk. If I go over 900 s uncovered, the culture is damaged (safety violation → score 0). That's catastrophic. So I must NOT exceed 900 s.
Let me be conservative. I have 163 s. Let me do fewer calls:
- Call A: [0,3,7,16] at 1.5, repeats=3, interleaved, interval 1.5. (12 pulses, 18 s)
- Call B: [0,3,7,16] at 2.5, repeats=3. (12 pulses, 18 s)
- Call C: [20] at 5, repeats=3. (3 pulses, 4.5 s)
Total 27 pulses, ~40 s + 3×20 = 100 s + start/stop 40 = 140 s. Leaves 23 s. Good.
Then I'll have:
- cells 0,3,7,16: fire at 1.5? and 2.5? Combined with 2.0 (1/2) and 4.0 (2/2).
- cell 20: fire at 5? Combined with 4.0 (1/2) and 8.0 (2/2).
That should give decent thresholds.
But I also need recipe verification. Call A/B stimulate 7 and 3, so I can see if cell 2 fires. And 16, so I can see if 16 fires. Good.
Let me also think: for the recipe for target 2, I need to know if stimulating 7 and 3 at threshold reliably fires cell 2. Call A/B will show this (3 repeats each).
OK, let me proceed. Remove cover, start recording.
Actually, wait. I should double check the uncovered time. Let me get_status to see the clock. But that's a turn (20 s) with cover on, so no uncovered time. Let me do it.
Actually, get_status doesn't show uncovered time. Let me just proceed carefully.
Let me remove the cover.
