Introduction to the data and model sharing initiative

Lecturer: Konrad Körding

The DREAM project should be on the USB drives of a few different students. If you haven't yet, find someone who has the data and get it from them.

The contents of the flash drives can also be downloaded. All data sets, models, tools, and documentation for DREAM is hosted on CRCNS: http://crcns.org/data-sets/movements/dream/downloading-dream

You will need to create an account on CRCNS to be able to download the project files.
