Announcing the MapMySpikes Data Challenge! How do firing properties of a cell relate to its molecular cell type? We are seeking tools that can accurately make this connection and relate it to existing knowledge of cell types on Allen Brain Map. The challenge: 1) create an algorithm that will accurately match patch-clamp recorded neurons from the three example data sets to the most likely cell types in mouse primary visual cortex (VISp/V1) and/or primary motor cortex (M1), 2) present your mapping results as a user-friendly tool that links to the mapped cell types in the VISp/V1 and/or M1 datasets, 3) enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling of helping open science Winners will have an opportunity to present their work at a to-be-scheduled webinar and will have their tool featured on Allen Brain Map. Submit by June 3. More info at: https://lnkd.in/gkPmYaxp
