Week Five - Day One

Last week was the end of working on the project fully and now we've moved onto working on the Research Paper and Poster that is required. The research paper and poster are the final key elements for the individual research projects. The whole day consisted of working on writing our research papers and working on the poster.

The Poster consisted of all three of our parts and I wrote a small paragraph on my part to be included in the poster:

'When the user wears the Emotiv EPOC headset and trains in the Expressiv or Cognitiv Suite, those specific actions generate certain brain signals. After the extraction of the brain signals from the headset, a Python program plots the function as a graph for visualization. The differentiation between all the activities requires a decomposition of the overall function. Therefore, the implementation of the Fast Fourier Transform function in Python helps reduce the function into its sine and cosine components to become the output. The Fast Fourier Transform estimates unusual function on an interval, transforming a function of time into a function of frequency. It essentially depicts the mapping between two sets of domains, therefore allowing the time domain to become altered into the frequency domain. The output then becomes passed onto the Hierarchical Temporal Memory as an input.'

For the research paper, the abstract is supposed to be written with a motivation, problem statement, approach, results, and conclusions part. The motivation is supposed to explain why we care about the issue or project. The problem statement is supposed to tell the reader what the issue at hand is and the scope of the work. The approach is how you go about solving the problem or going about working on the project. The results explain to us what the answer is or what came out of the project. The data or analysis or thoughts. The conclusion explains what the future work may be or how the project will impact the world.
