Storing time series statistics in Redis
Storing time series statistics in Redis: "After looking at various solutions including using Sorted Sets we decided we could get the best performance/space setup by breaking storing each API hit in a range of hashmaps representing different granularities of time (e.g. minutes, seconds…). Each hashmap would hold a suitable number of values to provide useful data at that granularity."

Experiments on pitch perception indicate that the fine structure is required to predict the pitch shift of the residue (Yost, Patterson, & Sheft, 1998). Other rectification algorithms like squaring, full-wave rectification and the Hilbert transform only preserve the envelope."

Summary statistics in auditory perception : Nature Neuroscience : Nature Publishing Group
Summary statistics in auditory perception : Nature Neuroscience : Nature Publishing Group: "Sensory signals are transduced at high resolution, but their structure must be stored in a more compact format. Here we provide evidence that the auditory system summarizes the temporal details of sounds using time-averaged statistics. We measured discrimination of 'sound textures' that were characterized by particular statistical properties, as normally result from the superposition of many acoustic features in auditory scenes. When listeners discriminated examples of different textures, performance improved with excerpt duration. In contrast, when listeners discriminated different examples of the same texture, performance declined with duration, a paradoxical result given that the information available for discrimination grows with duration. These results indicate that once these sounds are of moderate length, the brain's representation is limited to time-averaged statistics, which, for different examples of the same texture, converge to the same values with increasing duration. Such statistical representations produce good categorical discrimination, but limit the ability to discern temporal detail."

If we (naively) assume that algorithmic complexity provides a direct measure of execution time (and that the relevant logarithm base is 2) then the ratio of execution times for the (DFT) vs. (Radix 2 FFT) can be expressed:"

Sinewave and Sinusoid+Noise Analysis/Synthesis in Matlab: "In practice, it gets a little complicated for a couple of reasons. Firstly, picking peaks is sometimes difficult: if there's a very slight local maximum on the 'shoulder' of a bigger peak, does that count or not? Also, the resolution of the STFT is typically not all that good (perhaps 128 bins spanning 4 kHz, or about 30 Hz), so you need to interpolate the maximum in both frequency and magnitude. However, this basically works."

Alex Brandmeyer: Auditory perceptual learning using decoded-EEG neurofeedback | CCRMA
Alex Brandmeyer: Auditory perceptual learning using decoded-EEG neurofeedback | CCRMA: "Auditory perceptual learning is a process in which skills of auditory perception improve through both passive and active exposure to sounds in the environment, and which underlies our abilities to perceive language and music. Individual differences in these perceptual skills can be observed in both our behaviors and in our brains’ automatic responses to sounds (i.e. auditory evoked responses). The results of these experiments suggest that,depending on stimulus features and participant instructions, the presentation of such feedback can lead to the modulation of distinct components of the auditory event-related potential. The ability to selectively modulate brain activity underlying ongoing perception via neurofeedback could eventually lead to a novel type of brain-computer interface for learning paradigms involving both healthy and clinical populations.

[Help] Serving binary data from redis - Google Groups
[Help] Serving binary data from redis - Google Groups: "This is probably because node_redis defaults to sending back JavaScript Strings for all commands. You can change this behavior at client create time like this:
var client = require("redis").createClient(null, null, { return_buffers: true });
All Redis "bulk" responses on this client will be sent back as Buffers.
The next release of node_redis will also provide a way to select Strings or Buffers on a per-command basis."

Throw Out Your Resume
Throw Out Your Resume: "Don’t be boring. Most applications companies receive are a resume with a cover letter attached, but there’s no rule saying yours has to. Surprise them by including a poster, a song you’ve written, a video, or something else made specifically for that company. You have about 15 seconds to catch the attention of the person looking through applications. Make yourself stand out."
