\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 small time
window, containing only 2 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 {\em fundamental frequency}. The single
terms $\alpha_j \cdot \sin(2\pi j\omega_0\cdot t + \varphi_j )$
are called {\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 original curve for different
choices of $n$. Also plot the fitting error as a function of
$n$.
\part (optional) If you want you can also play the different fits
and the original as sound.
\end{parts}
