ESE297 - Introduction to Undergraduate Research was created for students who wish to do Undergraduate Research projects in [[media:Robotic_Sensing_V4.pdf|Robotic Sensing]] under [http://ese.wustl.edu/people/Pages/faculty-bio.aspx?faculty=11 Professor Nehorai], the ESE Department Chair. This course is offered as ESE297 for 2 credits and is typically offered in the spring and summer. Students will learn how to implement sensor array signal processing algorithms on the [[LabVIEW for Robotics|LabVIEW for Robotics Starter Kit robots]] shown above using both Matlab and LabVIEW and develop Brain Computer Interface (BCI) algorithms using EEG signals. Students can then apply this knowledge to individual research projects in Robotic Sensing in subsequent semesters. ESE297 does not qualify as an EE elective.

**** Connect wires from A00 and AO1 to AI0+ and AI1+. Make sure that the Prototyping Power is on. Modify your vi to collect samples from both AI0 and AI1. Then open  [[media:DelayedChirp2DAC.zip|DelayedChirp2DAC.vi]] and run this vi. Zoom in in the time and frequency domain to examine the waveforms in detail. Describe in detail what you see. Measure the difference in time between both channels. Hint: Start and stop your Data Acquisition vi until the entire signal is in the middle of the buffer.
 
−
**** Plot the Cross Correlation of the 2 channels and see if the peak is shifted from the middle, the number of samples you measured from the previous step.
 
−
***** Hints:
 
−
****** Functions -> Express -> Conv & Coff -> Corss Correlation
 
−
****** This function requires that you extract the 2 channels from the DDT. To do this, use Functiions -> Express -> Sig Manip -> Single Waveform -> Channel 0 and then again for Channel 1. Connect the outputs of these to the X and Y inputs.
 
−
**** Plot the Spectrogram of Channel 0.
 
−
***** Hint: There is a good Spectrogram example that ships with LabVIEW. Go to Help -> Find Examples... and search for Spectrogram -> STFT Spectrogram Demo.vi. You can copy from this example and paste it into your code.

***Task 7- Use the signal processing palette in lab view to generate sinusoid waveform (Signal Processing -> Waveform Generation -> Sine Waveform) with two different frequencies and filter this signal to obtain two sinusoid signals corresponding to two frequencies of the input signal. Add Gaussian noise to this signal (Signal Processing -> Waveform Generation -> Gaussian White noise). Plot the spectrum (Express-> Signal Analysis -> Spectrum) of this signal and identify the frequencies corresponding to signal and noise. Use an appropriate filter (Express -> Signal Analysis -> Filter) to extract the original signal. Repeat with various filters and with increasing noise power. What is the relationship between the Standard Deviation of the WGN and the amplitude of the noise (Express -> Signal Analysis -> Histogram might help)? Note: If your graph X-axis is in absolute time instead of seconds, right click on the graph and select Properties -> Display Format -> X-Axis and set it to SI units.

ESE297 - Introduction to Undergraduate Research was created for students who wish to do Undergraduate Research projects in Robotic Sensing under Professor Nehorai, the ESE Department Chair. This course is offered as ESE297 for 2 credits and is typically offered in the spring and summer. Students will learn how to implement sensor array signal processing algorithms on the LabVIEW for Robotics Starter Kit robots shown above using both Matlab and LabVIEW and develop Brain Computer Interface (BCI) algorithms using EEG signals. Students can then apply this knowledge to individual research projects in Robotic Sensing in subsequent semesters. ESE297 does not qualify as an EE elective.
