    So far my productivity streak is not going well. I'm having trouble sleeping, which is tanking my performance really hard. On the bright side, I'm learning about algorithms used in medical ultrasound; here is a picture I made by simulating the signal on my computer (basic DAA beamforming with 50 elements plus phased array beam steering, 1 MHz):

    Edit: sorry, looks bad on phone.

    Some structures are pretty well outlined, but there's still lots of noise. Modern ultrasound machines use MVDR beamforming and other cool tricks, which I would like to implement in my next prototype. Needless to say, I prefer working on this over actual productive work :)
