Final Project Description 

Class participants will design, execute, and present a final project. There are three types of projects that you can choose from:

• A coding/analysis project, involving writing new code that trains and evaluates a model against neural data (or behavioral data), or builds a novel analysis of neural data. You can use off-the-shelf neural networks or implement your own. For evaluation, you can use any of the public data sources we list, or you can use data from your own research.


• A review project, involving surveying the literature in a defined area and developing both a framework for summarizing the key recent results in the area and a viewpoint about where the area can or will go.


• A grant proposal project, involving describing a hypothetical neural or behavior experiment and a neural-network-based analysis of the data, in the form of an NSF grant.
