38. As the temporal variations of the target media used in the studies considered here were perfectly periodic, the length and number of records can be set to any desired value. The effects of record number and length (and also other considerations such as filtering and windowing) lie outside the scope of the present report.

43. The last interpretation given is particularly intriguing for us, as it immediately brings to mind an analogy between this general concept of signal coherence and the particular physical meaning of “coherence” that applies to light. It suggests that the “coherence radius” and “coherence time” that could be defined for each pixel in an image time series may be parameters worth considering.
