\begin{questions}
\question In the data file {\tt EOD\_data.mat} you find a time trace
and the {\em electric organ discharge (EOD)} of a weakly electric
fish {\em Apteronotus leptorhynchus}.
\begin{parts}
\part Load and plot the data in an appropriate way. Time is in
seconds and the voltage is in mV/cm.
\part Fit the following curve to the eod (select a smaller time
window for fitting, not the entire trace) using least squares:
$$f_{\omega_0,b_0,\varphi_1, ...,\varphi_n}(t) = b_0 +
\sum_{j=1}^n \sin(2\pi j\omega_0\cdot t + \varphi_j ).$$
$\omega_0$ is called {\em fundamental frequency}. The single terms
$\sin(2\pi j\omega_0\cdot t + \varphi_j )$ are called {\em
harmonic components}. The variables $\varphi_j$ are called {\em
phases}. For the beginning choose $n=3$.
\part Play around with $n$ and see how the fit changes. Plot the
fits and the original curve for different choices of $n$. If you
want you can also play the different fits and the original as
sound.
\end{parts}
