How can the stimuli from two different loops be randomly combined in OpenSesame?

edit

One way to randomly combine stimuli from two different loops in OpenSesame is to use Python code.

First, define the two loops and their corresponding variables:

loop1 = items1 # first loop
loop2 = items2 # second loop
n_trials = len(loop1) # number of trials in each loop

Then, use the random module to randomly select a trial from each loop and concatenate them:

import random

combined_items = [] # list to store combined items

for i in range(n_trials):
   item1 = loop1[random.randint(0, n_trials - 1)] # randomly select a trial from loop1
   item2 = loop2[random.randint(0, n_trials - 1)] # randomly select a trial from loop2
   combined_items.append(item1 + item2) # concatenate the stimuli and add to the list

Finally, create a new loop using the combined_items list:

combined_loop = [[i] for i in combined_items] # convert the list into format suitable for a loop
