The potential importance of such a distinction could be demonstrated bydescribing to the students two groups who conducted human reaction time experiments using amicrocontroller and LED stimulus: Group A averaged 146ms reaction time, with a standarddeviation of 36ms, whereas Group B averaged only 27ms, with a 10ms standard deviation.

Pressing the buttonconnects the input to ground (0 Volts) through a 1 k resistor, which is much lower than the valueof R. This sets the input voltage very close to 0 V, so the pin reads

Due to rounding of floating point values to integers for pixel locations, some Page 22.47.4destination pixels will be mapped to more than one source pixel. With two or more source pixelsmapping to the same destination pixel, there will also be destination pixels that are never writtento, thus leaving holes in the rotated image. To solve the problems of holes and multiplemappings, the reverse mapping equation is employed. In the
