Guide to choosing a Theory project#
July 5-23, 2021
Pure theory projects are usually pursued by more advanced students. If your group is relatively new to neuroscience, you should consider doing a dataset project and include a theory component to it.
Every group can bring up and discuss theory projects. We have two example project templates for this that include code. However, a theory project can go in any direction.

Motor RNN#
We built on Feulner & Clopath, Plos Computational Biology, 2021 to propose this project. Here we explore how RNN representation dynamics is linked with connectivity structure and task complexity.
