Interested in contributing to Project 6 (computational modeling)

[carolinehaoud]

Hi everyone, my name is Caroline. I studied computer science at Columbia University and have several years of research experience in neuroscience, computer science, and cancer research, and I’m preparing to apply to PhD programs in applied mathematics, computer science, and computational/theoretical neuroscience.

I’d like to contribute to Project 6. I’m most interested in a well-scoped computational task involving predictive-coding or dynamical-systems models, recurrent networks, parameter fitting/cross-validation, model comparison, or reproducible analysis code. I don’t have prior experience with EEG or this project’s specialized recording methods, but I’m comfortable learning the data structure and working from the project documentation and existing code.

Is there a currently unclaimed task with a concrete deliverable, expected time commitment, and timeline? I would also appreciate knowing which planned manuscript the task would support and how contributions are documented for authorship consideration under the collaboration policy before I begin.

I’m happy to attend the Tuesday community meeting and discuss where I could be most useful. Thank you!
