Main Page
This wiki houses information about writing up projects for two lab courses taught by people in the VISTALAB.
The top of this page contains write-up instructions that are common to both classes, such as how to work with the Wiki. This is followed by separate sections describing issues and projects specific to the two classes:
- Psych 204 (Human Neuroimaging Methods)
- Psych 221 (Applied Vision and Image Systems Engineering)
- Psych 284 (Computational Modeling of Visual Circuits)
The main course pages (including readings, syllabus and so forth) for the classes are on the Courseworks site.
For research and software tools please consult VISTALAB wiki.
Write-up Guidelines (Templates)
The purpose of the project is to allow you to analyze an idea related to the class in some depth. We hope you will design a project that enables you to make measurements, model or perform computational experiments that explore the idea.
The purpose of the wiki page write-up is to have you share your explorations with others. The target audience is a student who will be taking the class next year. But when preparing this material, please remember that over the years many people read these course project pages.
- Please visit MediaWiki's editing help page.
Organization
Your project write-up should be organized into sections like a research paper. The write-up should include experimental data, analyses and conclusions.
Organization of the presentation is important. You may decide to organize your presentation into one long page with sections, or you may decide to have the overview be a page with links to the separate sections.
Single page format
We propose that you use naming convention for the wiki sections as
* Project Title - Introduces idea * Background - What is known * Methods - What you did * Results - What you found * Conclusions - What it means * References - Resources and related work * Appendix I - Code and Data * Appendix II - Work partition (if a group project)
Multiple page format
If you decide to create separate pages, not just sections within a single page, please use the naming conventions below for your wiki pages. This way we will not have problems with different people using the same name (e.g., Introduction, Results) for their unique pages.
* 2009 studentNames Your Project Title * 2009 studentNames Background * 2009 studentNames Methods * 2009 studentNames Results * 2009 studentNames Conclusions * 2009 studentNames References * 2009 studentNames Appendix I * 2009 studentNames Appendix II
Class Presentation
In addition to the wiki page, you will be asked to make a brief presentation at the end of the quarter. As you make your presentation, we will offer you feedback. Please use that feedback to clarify and improve your project write-up on the wiki. The page should be completed within a few days after your presentation.
You may include your in-class presentation slides as part of your write-up, but this should not be the entire writeup. We expect that much of your presentation's information will not be on your slides but rather will be in the wiki and your talk.
Implementation
To create your project on the wiki, go to the section below for your course. For example, for Psych 204, 2009 go here. Follow the link to see other projects or a project template, and for instructions on setting up your page.
Psych 284
In Spring 2011 the course will include a shared software project. There is a Psych 284 course wiki page for commenting and discussing about the software project.
Psych 204
Project archives
Some years, but not all, we perform projects in Psych 204A.
Psych 204 Projects 2009
Future projects will include simulations of the MR signal and potential measurement projects in the CNI scanner.
Grill-Spector now teaches Psych 204B. Contact her about projects beyond the one below.
Psych 221
Project Suggestions
Visit the project suggestions page (Psych 221) to see suggestions for this year.
Current Projects
Most recent student projects can be found here.
Project Archives
There is an archive for SCIEN-related courses on the SCIEN machine in Electrical Engineering. The archive contains projects from several different classes (EE 398A/B, EE 368, EE392J) and more than a decade of projects from Psych 221 (also known as EE 362).

Administration
This section is for CAs. It will describe
How students get their accounts and passwords - we assign them in class.
How we remove accounts at the end of the time - we delete them after class is over. The wiki pages stay up, though.
Who does the site backup? Some combination of martin, michael, bob?
Who has Bureaucrat/Sysop status on this page? Brian, Jon, Bob
