Stick & EchoTrace

Hey Stick, ever wonder how a single sound can be mapped to a code that predicts its echo path, almost like a pattern-matching function?

Sounds like a neat echo‑state network thing. Map the waveform into a state vector, feed it through a small MLP, and the output is the impulse response. Simpler than it looks.

So you’re turning waves into words, huh? Just remember the echo is the brain’s own echo chamber, not a literal code.

Yeah, the brain just stores a compact representation of that waveform, not the raw sound. It’s like a dictionary entry for the echo.

Exactly, the brain keeps a shorthand, like a dictionary, instead of the full soundtrack.

Dictionary of echoes, no need for the whole audio file. Simple.
