The project I work on has to do with how visual stimuli that are associated
with a learning-process are processed in the brain.

All the data has already been analyzed using the standard Fourier methods,
and we will make an attempt at using wavelets for the same problem.

Not until now, but given the amount of data (roughly six Gigabyte) that we
have to crunch through, and the fact that I'm totally new to Smalltalk, I
think I'll rather stick with my C++ for the time being.

Squeak, however, would make a really nice visualization tool, as far as I
see it.

Well, maybe I could do that anyway when I have more time, the code
dependent on the number of bitplanes didn't look _that_ complicated.

Have a nice weekend!
