Assessing randomness and complexity in human motion trajectories through analysis of symbolic sequences
Complexity is a hallmark of intelligent behavior consisting both of regular patterns and random variation. To quantitatively assess the complexity and randomness of human motion, we designed a motor task in which we translated subjects' motion trajectories into strings of symbol sequences.

The Treasury Board, a statutory committee …
