 \item Explain difference stationary versus non-stationary point process
 \item Show different types of ISI histograms (regular, noisy, poisson, bursty, locking)
 \item Multitrial firing rates
+\item Better explain difference between ISI method and PSTHes. The

+How to make a new project
+-------------------------
+Copy `project_template/` to your `project_NAME/` and adapt according to your needs.
+Rename `template.tex` to `NAME.tex` and write questions.
+Put data that are needed for the project into the `data/` subfolder.
+Put your solution into the `code/` subfolder.
+Don't forget to add the project files to git (`git add FILENAMES`).
