%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Questions %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
|
|
Weakly electric fish employ their self-generated electric field for
|
|
prey-capture, navigation and also communication. In many of these fish
|
|
the {\em electric organ discharge} (EOD) is well described by a
|
|
combination of a sine-wave and a few of its harmonics (integer
|
|
multiples of the fundamental frequency).
|
|
|
|
\begin{questions}
|
|
\question In the data file {\tt EOD\_data.mat} you find two
|
|
variables. The first contains the time at which the EOD was sampled
|
|
and the second the acutal EOD recording of a weakly electric fisch
|
|
of the species {\em Apteronotus leptorhynchus}.
|
|
\begin{parts}
|
|
\part Load the data and create a plot showing the data. Time is given in
|
|
seconds and the voltage is given in mV/cm.
|
|
\part Fit the following curve to the EOD (select a \textbf{small} time
|
|
window, containing only two or three electric organ discharges, for
|
|
fitting, not the entire trace) using least squares:
|
|
$$f_{\omega_0,b_0,\varphi_1, ...,\varphi_n}(t) = b_0 +
|
|
\sum_{j=1}^n \alpha_j \cdot \sin(2\pi j\omega_0\cdot t + \varphi_j
|
|
).$$ $\omega_0$ is called the {\em fundamental frequency}. The single
|
|
terms $\alpha_j \cdot \sin(2\pi j\omega_0\cdot t + \varphi_j )$
|
|
are called the {\em harmonic components}. The variables $\varphi_j$
|
|
are called {\em phases}, the $\alpha_j$ are the amplitudes. For
|
|
the beginning choose $n=3$.
|
|
\part Try different choices of $n$ and see how the fit
|
|
changes. Plot the fits and the section of the original curve that
|
|
you used for fitting for different choices of $n$. Also plot the
|
|
fitting error as a function of $n$.
|
|
\part Why does the fitting fail when you try to fit the entire recording?
|
|
\part (optional) If you want you can also play the different fits
|
|
and the original as sound (check the help).
