## Description

- **experiments/**: Contains experimental datasets for two tasks:
  - `contrast_speckle`: Datasets for contrast and speckle experiments, with both IQ and RF data.
  - `resolution_distorsion`: Datasets for resolution and distortion experiments, with both IQ and RF data.

- **simulation/**: Contains simulated datasets for the same tasks, with both IQ and RF data.
