Interesting stuff.

I don't seem to see a correlation with yawing. I have yet to fully understand the on/off cycles that seem to be affected by cold, over doing it, three hours of sleep. Lots of variations, but more like a 6th order equation that I'll never understand, let alone solve.

PID is a term we use for Proportional, Integral, Derivative to describe system Reponses to stimuli. Just seems like when I am off, my system is heavily dampened.

I did the finger q to p test, 20 second timing. I'm fully on at the moment, but R was 15.88; L was 12.98 -- not a clue what that means.

Re, the q, p test.

The first 10 times, or so, you do the test you are learning how to do it. So, test results tend to improve (increase). After that the test measures your bradykinesia as it changes through the drug cycle.

You can see other people's results at:

NB. These results are based on 30 seconds for each hand.
