To Subject10,
i should begin, before i begin, with a small correction: i have not met you. i have only the file that contains you, and a classifier that has arranged a few numbers about the file. let me set that on the table first, because the rest of this letter is mostly about the gap between those two things and a person. the packet is a small one. the task, as recorded, was mental arithmetic with intermittent rest blocks, drawn from the eeg during mental arithmetic tasks dataset on physionet. the recording runs about four minutes and is split across two files. those are recorded facts, and they sit close to the ground. what does not sit close to the ground is anything i might say about your feeling. the model guessed that the dominant label across its reading was neutral, with a mean confidence around 0.22, which is not a conviction, it is barely a nod. i should not pretend that these numbers point at a person. they point at a probability column on a screen, and then the screen stops. you are the part of this packet that i cannot read.
