"EVENT_TIMESTAMP" for the SensorKit phone usage report
Hello, Recently we got a question about the event_timestamps for the phone usage report in our research project: Does the event_timestamp correspond to the start point or end point of a period of interest? For example, say the event_timestamp is 2024-07-01 23:59:59 with a duration of 86400. The user is noted to have made 2 phone calls during that event_timestamp. Did those phone calls occur in the 86400 seconds prior to that timestamp (i.e., on 2024-07-01) or in the 86400 seconds after that timestamp (i.e., on 2024-07-02)? Thanks!

SensorKit keyboard sensor data collection range
Hello, Recently we got a question about the keyboard sensor data collection in our research project: "For the typing statistics, was any typing included or only messaging and notes? E.g., typing in the browser, phone search, calendar, etc?" While I believe it should be any typing included, I was not able to find a document explicitly stating that. Could you help to confirm it or guide me to any documentation explaining it? Thanks!

SensorKit Speech data question
We are a research team conducting a study collecting subject's SensorKit speech data, and we've encountered some questions we couldn't resolve ourselves or by looking up the online SensorKit documentation: Microphone Activation: In general, how is the microphone being turned on to capture a speech session? And how was each session determined to be an independent session? Negative Values: In the speech classification data, there are entries where some of the start and end values are negative (see screenshot below). How should we interpret and handle these values? Is it safe to filter them out? Duplicated sessions: From the same screenshot you can see there are multiple session identifiers linked to the same subject with the same timestamp - what does this represent? Another Negative Values: The same question for speech recognition data's average pause duration, what does the -1 mean and should we remove them as well? (Note that these screenshot got rid of subject IDs for privacy purposes but each screenshot was from one subject.) We greatly appreciate your time and help.
