  • sampling and aliasing should not be capitalized, they're regular words.
  • on sampling: "We sample because there is a cost to data which is memory." This is not quite right technically. Sampling is how we convert a continuous-time (analog) signal to a discrete-time (digital) signal that can be saved on a digital computer, such as your laptop. There is no way to save an analog signal, like scalp voltage from EEG, on a modern computer. We DOWNSAMPLE because there is a cost to saving data.
  • a more detailed explanation of the relationship between higher sampling rate and high-frequency content may be useful.
  • clarify in the "generate time axis" section that sampling rate is always determined by the acquisition system, especially since we're using real data in this first part (which means it came with a sampling rate), so we don't have people going away thinking you can just arbitrarily "set" a sampling rate. It's a fundamental property of the dataset (metadata).

under analyzing our graph:

  • rythmic is a typo.
  • not sure why we need to put the canonical band examples here. I can see it being a "negative example", in which case we should add a quick one-liner about how these oscillations may not be bandlimited.
  • grounding and referencing can be a whole new notebook/tutorial, because it's a quite extensive topic and there are a variety of ways to do it.
