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.

bioc218: predicting co-translational pausing with neural networks
14 may 2013 | science
Wanted to share my final paper for bioc218, a computational biology class i t[...]ook this winter 2013. We were tasked with choosing a particular technique, algorithm, or any material discussed in the class and exploring it in more detail. Neural networks seemed particularly interesting—and not just because i'm a neuroscientist. I wanted to use machine learning algorithms to improve predictions for the project i am working on in Judith Frydman's lab.

the return of the brain initiative notes
09 december 2018 | neuroscience
I will begin posting again on the BRAIN initiative notes running webpage/blog that I started while ago. There is a lot going on in neurosci[...]ence and many questions of how it relates to society at large. Below I have included the first of the new posts that goes over methods for identifying cells and reconstructing neural activity traces from calcium imaging movies.

Find article on BRAIN webpage at Calcium imaging cell identification and fluorescence activity trace reconstruction, part 1.

Look forward to more postings!

Wanted to quickly turn an idea that came up during a conversation into a short story. Touches on ideas of genetic engineering and cockfight[...]ing.

comment system!
05 august 2012 | website
Wanted to add the ability for people to comment on this website, but delayed adding the feature until I could write the code myself. There [...]are many pre-built PHP solutions on the market (like commentator), but the original purpose of this site was to allow me to learn how to build a website from scratch. So I've implemented the comment system using about a hundred lines of code to access the MySQL database, verify inputs and display all the comments for a particular article.
