General meeting

Full meeting notes for 28 April (10:30-12:00 Central time)

Some things I missed, Johannes (other GSOC student), Reddit AMA, discussions on geppetto and sibernetic.

The parts that I got (from ~11:00 Central time):

Came in during Matteo's update. Discussing Waffle.io and Geppetto tutorial for people unfamiliar with some of the underlying code.

Introduced myself.

Link to the notes for the meeting in my google drive.

Giovanni discussed Kickstarter
Kickstarter page repo: https://github.com/openworm/org.openworm.website/tree/kickstarter

Someone from Gateway contacted by Stephen. Previous assistance given in similar context. Hopefuly extending exposure.

Kickstarter dip in the middle of the campaign. Need to pump up the volume (reach more people). Typically picks up at the end of the campaign.

Michael prospectives paper, turing test section, movement validation, describe testing pipeline

Jim converting processing pipeline from Matlab to Python with Michael in next couple of weeks.

Andrey (and someone else) absent. possibly sleeping.

Raynor working on modeling NMJ of worm https://github.com/openworm/OpenWorm/issues/124. Simulation running in NEURON. Trying to match the NeuoML to specifications in a paper which describes graded responses. Distinction in modeling between ACh- and GABA-ergic synapses.

Padraig suggests generating from neuroConstruct into NEURON and building from that.

Disconnected

Michael getting exact modelling of sinusoidal motion.

Tom making fitness functions for the worm's motion based on more complex sinusoids.

Meeting ends.
