Comp. Neuro

Summary

Presentation I gave in 9.29, the computational neuroscience class at MIT. They attempted to build a model that could use the information obtained from recordings in the prefrontal cortex and other areas of a monkey brain to predict their behavior based on the 'state' their neuron groups were in.

For my computational neuroscience class, we had to present a paper and explain its methods and findings (along with possible applications) to the class. Below is my presentation.

bio42: notes
12 may 2013 | teaching

While teaching bio42 (cell biology and animal physiology) I created weekly notes to help students in my section study and focus on the impo[...]rtant materials presented in the class. I built off of the latex boilerplate that I have been improving over time to create weekly notes. This highlights why I love LaTeX so much, especially for larger projects that are heavily linked—it allows easy annotation, indexing, creation of new document styles, and other related processes rapidly and consistently. Plus, separating content and style is always a plus and images stay uncoupled from a propriety source (e.g. Word files).

I really love the resulting notes and student feedback was quite positive. I thought sharing them might be useful for others in the future. The source latex files and raw images can be sent upon request (I'm considering making a Github repository in the future). I'll briefly talk about the document below and certain decisions that were made to get it to its current state.
