I spotted this interesting code stamped into a production plate on this 1990s Mercedes-Benz E300 wagon. The embossed three-digit number codes are the options for the car.

The most interesting part, though, are the hole-punched grid. It has been very difficult to find information on what those codes mean, but I’ve been able to discover that they are 2-of-5 codes, wherein the *spaces* between the punches indicate ones (thick) or zeros (thin), while the *holes* in the last column indicates a check digit, read from top to bottom.

In this case, the six digits appear to be:

11000: 1
11000: 1
00101: 8
10001: 6
10100: 2
01001: 7

Check digit: 01001: 7

The lower-right corner hole seems to be unused.

I don’t know if this exactly right. If you know more information, please reply!

New short-paper:

"Decoding accuracies as well as ERP amplitudes do not show between-task correlations"

tldr:
=> high decoding accuracy in ERN != high decoding accuracy in e.g. N400

=> strong N170 != strong e.g. P300

This could be great: it could mean that if one ERP-#BCI doesn't work for you, you can simply switch to another ERP!
