#buildinpublic day 16! - had a 1-on-1 coaching call w/ my director - woke up at 4:30 and looked at code for projects on different types of comp. neuroscience models; went through the neuroML tutorials - exhausted from my classical dance class, so I’ll be waking up early tmrw!
#buildinpublic day 15! - finished experimental trial for my school research on improving biomass to biofuel conversion process - looked into neural decoding classifiers for brain data! - played around with chatGPT too much and looked at the basic code to build neural networks 🤠
#buildinpublic day 13+14 (weekend update!) - session @theksociety on sat. about an MIT case study and extreme ownership - read more research papers on RNNs - learned the basics behind linear algebra - spent time with my friends and family - caught up on schoolwork + studied calc
#buildinpublic day 11 & 12! - finished annotating MIT case study for session tmrw - published monthly newsletter - continued looking at code for AI model + Nilearn - continued computational neuroscience course on coursera! - finished up schoolwork and did way too much calc :/
#buildinpublic day 10! - starting annotating an MIT case study on fast fashion - worked on a school research project focusing on improving the biomass -> biofuel conversion process - watched the @neuralink demo - worked on my newsletter; publishing tomorrow since I’m drained lol
#buildinpublic day 9! - mainly worked on my november newsletter; plan to publish tmrw! - continued exploring Nilearn and trying to understand the code for the AI model Synthesia is based off of (an AI model synthesizing fmri from eeg) - went to my classical indian dance class :)
#buildinpublic day 8 - explored @nilearn and looked into neuroimaging plotting tools in python; very valuable resource and will definitely be investigating more tmrw! - continued working on my article; not as much progress on it as i'd wanted so far but trying to stay consistent!
#buildinpublic day 6+7 (weekend update) - spent time w/my family, ate some good food, and relaxed a bit :) - had a call w/@pad_jules on building out our company, Synthesia; currently trying to understand the code for our AI model - finished replicate code; starting article
#buildinpublic day 4 & 5! - traveled out of town to celebrate thanksgiving w/ family - cold outreach to some professionals working in ML + neuroscience - learned about RNNs + Bayesian optimization - started brainstorming ideas for my next project (want to make it more ML based)!
#buildinpublic day 3! - continued working on code for my replicate project; may alter idea to involve more ML coding, so still looking for existing projects! - think @o8tNeuro is working on some pretty sick stuff, def going to be following their work w/tractography + connectomics
#buildinpublic day 2! - learned abt convolution & linear systems + Poisson spiking distribution - began code for my project on replicating a Hodgkin-Huxley model (simulates neuron action potential) - read a study about using an HMM to investigate impact of anesthesia on brain!
hey twitter, starting up my #buildinpublic challenge! day 1:
goals for this month are to: - update my current network and develop connections with people specifically working in the intersection between AI and computational neuroscience
Day 5 #buildinpublic - call w/@fazalmittu_ , @prishabhavsar, @JahanAleeza, & ziya! still finalizing problem bc we ran into issues with water :( - presented my paper in my school’s research symposium! - bit of a mental breakdown and just feeling down :// - angular momentum
Day 4 #buildinpublic - call w/@prishabhavsar, @JahanAleeza , @fazalmittu_, & Ziya for moonshot problem finalizing! set on tackling the water crisis and currently researching sectors and challenges within the problem! - studied for history test tmrw! - posted podcast ep :)
Day 2 #buildinpublic - moonshot meeting with @prishabhavsar, @JahanAleeza, @fazalmittu_, and ziya! looking into climate related problems and intersection with health, poverty, food insecurity, etc :) - played some tennis 🎾 - worked on some electrochem hw and ap exam prep!!
Day 30 #buildinpublic - discussed the economic aspect of the @UN challenge w/@prishabhavsar, @ryne_gonzales, @fazalmittu_, @JahanAleeza and began a root cause analysis! - went to my classical Indian dance class cuz i do kathak like all the cool kids 🥰 - prepped for physics quiz!
Day 25 #buildinpublic - attended my neuroscience comp!! learned a lot and had a rly great time, excited to do better next time 😃 - took half a practice ap chem frq test and almost died - reached out to more experts for the partnership with the @UN okay i'm tired gn guys :)
