Brain waves, Sharp-wave Ripples, SWRs from low intensity electrical stimulation

Some brain waves look like Sharp-wave Ripples, these are sometimes called SWR’s.

SWRs can be evoked by low intensity electrical stimulation, and at lower intensities than those needed to evoke detectable population spikes. In addition, evoked SWRs show large variability in amplitude, similar to that of spontaneous events.  See more at:  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5862867/

Hippocampal sharp-wave ripples (SPW-Rs) support consolidation of recently acquired episodic memories and planning future actions by generating ordered neuronal sequences of previous or future experiences.  See more at:   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6310484/

Ham Radio Receiver, Radio Astronomy – build your own

Look at this Ham Radio: Gqrx is a software defined radio receiver powered by the GNU Radio SDR framework and the Qt graphical toolkit.

Look at this Ham Radio: receiver.

Consider a SDR (software designed radio) on this site, let your PC control the Radio parameters.

Consider GNU Radio as a great software option for Ham Radio.

Consider Amateur Radio Astronomy, also this site, and this NASA site.
