This module introduces short-time Fourier transform.
We saw earlier that Fourier analysis is not well suited to
describing local changes in "frequency content" because thefrequency components defined by the Fourier transform have
infinite (
i.e. , global) time support. For
example, if we have a signal with periodic components plus aglitch at time
, we might want accurate knowledge of both the periodic
component frequencies
and the glitch time
(
[link] ).
The Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) provides a means of
joint time-frequency analysis. The STFT pair can be written
assuming real-valued
for which
. The STFT can be interpreted as a "sliding window
CTFT": to calculate
, slide the center of window
to time
, window
the input signal, and compute the CTFT of the result (
[link] ).
The idea is to isolate the signal in the vicinity of time
, then perform a CTFT
analysis in order to estimate the "local" frequency content attime
.
Essentially, the STFT uses the basis elements
over the range
and
. This can be understood as time and frequency shifts
of the window function
. The STFT basis is often illustrated by a tiling of
the time-frequency plane, where each tile represents aparticular basis element (
[link] ):
The height and width of a tile represent the spectral and
temporal widths of the basis element, respectively, and theposition of a tile represents the spectral and temporal centers
of the basis element. Note that, while the
tiling
diagram suggests that the STFT uses a discrete set of
time/frequency shifts, the STFT basis is really constructed froma continuum of time/frequency shifts.
Note that we can decrease spectral width
at the cost of increased temporal width
by stretching basis waveforms in time, although the
time-bandwidth product
(
i.e. , the area of each tile) will
remain constant (
[link] ).
Our observations can be summarized as follows:
the time resolutions and frequency resolutions of every STFT
basis element will equal those of the window
. (All STFT tiles have the same shape.)
the use of a wide window will give good frequency resolution
but poor time resolution, while the use of a narrow windowwill give good time resolution but poor frequency
resolution. (When tiles are stretched in one direction theyshrink in the other.)
The combined time-frequency resolution of the basis,
proportional to
, is determined not by window width but by window
shape. Of all shapes, the Gaussian
The
STFT using a Gaussian window is known as the
Gabor
Transform (1946).
gives the highest time-frequency resolution,
although its infinite time-support makes it impossible toimplement. (The Gaussian window results in tiles with
minimum area.)
Finally, it is interesting to note that the STFT implies a
particular definition of
instantaneous
frequency . Consider the linear chirp
. From casual observation, we might expect an
instantaneous frequency of
at time
since
The STFT, however, will indicate a
time-
instantaneous frequency
of
The phase-derivative interpretation of
instantaneous frequency only makes sense for signals containingexactly
one sinusoid, though! In summary,
always remember that the traditional notion of "frequency"applies only to the CTFT; we must be very careful when bending
the notion to include,
e.g. , "instantaneous
frequency", as the results may be unexpected!
Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
hello. autism is a umbrella term. autistic kids have different disorder overlapping. for example. a kid may show symptoms of ADHD and also learning disabilities.
before treatment please make sure the kid doesn't have physical disabilities like hearing..vision..speech problem. sometimes these

sometimes due to these physical problems..the diagnosis may be misdiagnosed.
treatment for autism.
well it depends on the severity.
since autistic kids have problems in communicating and adopting to the environment.. it's best to expose the child in situations where the child

child interact with other kids under doc supervision.
play therapy.
speech therapy.
Engaging in different activities that activate most parts of the brain.. like drawing..painting. matching color board game.
string and beads game.
the more you interact with the child the more effective

results you'll get..
please consult a therapist to know what suits best on your child.
and last as a parent. I know sometimes it's overwhelming to guide a special kid.
but trust the process and be strong and patient as a parent.
