05/21/15 05:19:32Possibly detected41.1418-70.9292Some random but possibly patterned FW pulses in panels 7-9, not clear enough to say "Detected".
05/21/15 10:19:32Detected41.1418-70.9292
05/21/15 12:34:32Possibly detected41.1418-70.9292FOR MARK: There isn't a lot of other LF noise, and these pulses are very regular, so this could just be a unique FW case that I'm particularly suspicious of. It could be two overlapping pulse trains but the IPIs would be verging on almost 20s for each animal. The amplitude is inconsistent in some places (i.e. panels 2 and 3), which also makes me suspicious.
05/21/15 13:19:32Detected41.1418-70.9292FOR MARK: Obvious FW presence here, esp. at the beginning of the tracking period. This makes me think it was two overlapping pulse trains that were observed in the previous tracking periods.

05/21/15 07:34:3241.1418-70.9292Not sure what to make of these FW pulses, I don't want to assume there's a pattern when it's not obvious so I'm leaving it as "Not Detected".
05/21/15 12:19:3241.1418-70.9292FOR MARK: I'm not sure what to make of these FW pulses, they have 9-10s IPIs that aren't consistent with what has been seen in previous tracking periods. I didn't give this a "Possibly" or "Detected" even though those are perfectly acceptable IPIs, because they don't fit with what we've been seeing this year. Would this count as a legitimate case, or do you think this is just noise?
