Two very different systems! Optitrack is much more affordable

Matlab? Is it not supported at all by today's tools?

Anything else!

There exist cases where circles are real. E.g. when cycling

But also, jPCA exactly has the property of seeing circles when there are none.

Should have googled that to the picower institute folks who did the press release :) but seriously thanks - I instead google scholared it and it somehow did not come up within the first page which got me thinking it was nowhere to be seen.

Always game for that.

To be clear, have not been able to read the original study because the link does not work. HEre is a fun paper on fourier. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I have done some changes to address this (approach conditional gap prompting). Thanks a lot! But I presume it does not go far enough for you? Did you use freedom mode? Because then you can work on needs and gap at the same time.

It sounds like thats what is asked in "needs-based", the second screen? The reason why I keep it as gap first is because I try to keep needs-based, hypothesis driven and exploratory coherent throughout a first screen. You would have been more comfortable being directly in needs-based?

Interesting. I view the gap as something yet missing in the literature, in a way I view the gap section as problem construcdtion. How would you set it up differently as a problem construction?

I went a bit overboard, did I mention it also downloads and reads the literature to be able to push back on ideas?

I feel conflicted. There is a legitimate use case. Such an estimate (I would instead calibrate it against future science outcome) could help cheaply pre-screen candidates. Otoh, this kind of algorithm is already effectively running in many committees so it adds no extra useful signal.
