Plan for the remainder of the semester:
1. One more homework:
o Multiple options from which you can choose from:
- sida.m, INF model in XPP
- thalamocortical model in XPP, topographica, and more.
- these will be *simple* extensions
o This will allow you to ease into your final project.
2. Paper commentaries
o Starting this Wednesday, you will have to write
short paper commentaries. There are about 13 remaining
lectures discussing different papers.
o Choose 6 out of the 13 lectures, read the papers, and
submit your paper commentary. Choose papers that are
more aligned with your own interest, and your potential
project.
o Each paper commentary is to be very short:
1. One short paragraph summarizing the main
point(s) of the paper (3-4 sentences, max).
2. One short paragraph of your critique,
again 3-4 sentences max.
3. Project
