Based on: Herbert Jaeger (2001) "The 'Echo State' Approach to Analysing and Training Recurrent Neural Networks"

🎯 ELI5 Summary:
Think of this module like a master tuner for a complex piano. Just as a piano tuner
adjusts each string to achieve perfect harmony, this module fine-tunes every aspect
of your Echo State Network - from activation functions to noise patterns - to achieve
optimal performance for your specific task!

🔬 Research Background:
========================
This module implements the comprehensive configuration and optimization strategies
from Jaeger's seminal 2001 paper. It provides:

1. **Activation Function Optimization**: All 6 activation types with performance theory
2. **Noise Strategy Configuration**: 6 advanced noise injection methods  
3. **Spectral Radius Optimization**: Automated grid search with ESP validation
4. **Output Feedback Control**: 4 recurrence modes for temporal modeling
5. **Hyperparameter Grid Search**: Automated parameter space exploration
6. **Configuration Presets**: Task-specific optimal settings
7. **Performance Monitoring**: Real-time optimization recommendations
