EXAMPLE
The first terms of A208884 are 1, 3, 3, 7, 3, so a(2*1-1) = 1, a(2*2-1) = 2, and a(2*4-1) = 4.
MATHEMATICA
b[1]=1; b[n_] := b[n] = #/2^IntegerExponent[#, 2] &@ (n + b[n-1]); A = Transpose@ {b /@ #, #} &@ Range[25000]; A = DeleteDuplicatesBy[ Sort@ A, First]; Last /@ TakeWhile[ A, A[[ (First[#] + 1)/2, 1]] == First@# &]
