Data:
Load and display this ECG signal with:
x=load('ecgdata.txt'); plot(x(:,1),x(:,2))
Here is a recording
of a neuron firing (saved as wav file). The
task is to detect the spikes reliably.
This is EEG data recorded from a subject performing a task that involves pushing a button. The volume of data contains 64 electrodes by 500 samples (2 second) by 338 trials. Alpha activity (approx. 10Hz) is reduced slightly before and some time after the button push. Any variable you compute for each electrode (stored as vector 'v' with 64 elements) you can display as an image over the head using: topoplot(v,'EEG-button-push.loc');
You need these two files to do this: topoplot, EEG-button-push.loc.

Proof that you only need a single quantizing bit per sample to make speech intelligible:
16 bits per sample, 2 bits per sample
