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 code needed for the project into the project's root directory.
- Put data that are needed for the project into the `data/` subfolder.
- Put your solution into the `solution/` subfolder.
- Put code that is needed to generate some data for the project, 
  but which is not part of the project, into the `code/` subfolder.
- Don't forget to add the project files to git (`git add FILENAMES`).


Upload projects to Ilias
------------------------

Simply upload ALL zip files into one folder or Uebungseinheit.
Provide an additional file that links project names to students.

Project time
------------

3 full weeks, a little more might help to improve the talks. Maybe
stop coding after 3 weeks and have 2 days for talk preparation. We
could even have a little lectture on how to make a talk!


Projects
--------

1) project_activation_curve
medium
also normalize activation curve to maximum.

2) project_adaptation_fit
OK, medium
Add plotting of cost function

3) project_eod
OK, medium - difficult
b_0 is not defined

4) project_eyetracker
OK, difficult
no statistics, but kmeans

5) project_fano_slope
OK, difficult

6) project_fano_time
OK, medium-difficult

7) project_ficurves
OK, medium

8) project_lif
OK, difficult
no statistics

9) project_mutualinfo
OK, medium

10) project_noiseficurves
OK, simple-medium
no statistics

11) project_numbers
simple
We might add some more involved statistical analysis

12) project_pca_natural_images
medium
Make a solution (->Lukas)

13) project_photoreceptor
OK, simple

14) project_populationvector
difficult
OK

15) project_power_analysis
medium

16) project_random_walk
simple-medium

17) project_serialcorrelation
OK, simple-medium

18) project_stimulus_reconstruction
OK, difficult

19) project_vector_strength
OK, medium-difficult


Unfinished or bad projects
--------------------------

7) project_fano_test
OK

10) project_input_resistance
medium
What is the problem with this project? --> No difference between segments
Improve questions

12) project_isipdffit
Too technical

11) project_isicorrelations
medium-difficult
Quite technical, need to finish solution

21) project_qvalues
-
Interesting! But needs solution.

25) project_spectra
Once we have the spectral chapter finished
Needs improvements and a solution


New project ideas:
------------------

1) project_face_selectivity
Marius monkey data
We need to work out a solution and results

2) Firing rates and spikeing precision
Data: Noise AM of grasshoppers
Analysis: Spike detection, convolution rate versus ISI rate
Discussion: How does spike precision influence rate measures?

3) project_shorttermpotentiation
We need better STD data (Alex Loebel? Jan G might have them!) Write questions.
