Hey everyone,

I’m launching a collaborative computational neuroscience project and am looking to put together a dedicated 4-person team. The goal is to build and validate a novel machine learning pipeline that identifies exactly which neural oscillations (brain waves) dominate the shifting of executive cycles in the prefrontal cortex.

I currently have the theoretical framework and core pipeline mapped out, but I need to move on to the actual project development and real-world dataset validation and paper submission.

The Target Team:

1 (since I'm one already)Computer Science & Engineering Student: Focus on implementing a unified competitive stacking pipeline, handling robust multi-view feature scaling, and optimizing regularization boundaries without data leakage.

2 Neuroscience Students: Focus on sourcing high-quality public EEG/LFP datasets, validating the biological interpretability of feature selection masks, and aligning model readouts with prefrontal cognitive theories.

This is a serious collaborative project with the ultimate goal of submitting two papers to upcoming tech/neuro conferences. We will be coordinating tasks smoothly and pushing clean code to our repository.

If you are a CSE or Neuro grad looking to apply advanced ML to complex biological signals and want to get a published paper on your resume, drop a comment or send me a DM with your background!

Hi, I'm an ambitious 19 year old studying in India. I've been very interested in quantitative finance and research, but initially I was interested in Investment banking. Since IB requires finance heavy credentials and I assume analyst roles don't usually allow space for employees to use quantitative methods, I thought perhaps asking for advice here would be justifiable.

Well my plan is to graduate by 2029 and give the GMAT to get into an Asian school of management and business for an MFE or an MBA, and until then stack some courses and projects on my resume. Although I'm unsure if having work experience is an unsaid rule for Asian schools.

The problem is this, I feel like I'm doing all of this to just satisfy the need to be able to say "I did things today" rather than actually meaning what I do, and I got to know this because I introspected and concluded that whatever I study I basically just end up forgetting about it or not being able to answer basic questions even though I knew the answer or the roadmap. Not engaging with work but rather just doing it feels to me as an entanglement that ties me from 2 ends, one where something that I can't engage with ends up being the very thing that is essential in the real world, and something that I do engage with, like research, ends up being under appreciated. I'm a bit confused and I'd like to seek advice from the best which is why I chose to write this down here. I'd really appreciate it if any of you people choose to help me solve this predicament and I hope to help this post serve as an impetus for introspection.

Thank you for reading through this post.
