Welcome to the dbspaceLab wiki!

Overview

The DBSpace Lab is a weekend lab focused on doing cool, creative science without academic bloat. This is a bit of an experiment, so let's make sure it's fun, above all.

Goals

Science is the inference of generative distributions using, in some way, data to keep models aligned to reality. Everything else is in service to that or noise.

This laboratory is an effort to refocus on the signal of science and circumvent the noise.

Principles

The core principles of the lab are straightforward:

  • Community > Technology
  • Education >> Production
  • Exploration > Operationalization
  • Truly open science that is welcoming

Projects

The main project of this organization is dbspace, a Python library for model-centric analysis of clinical electrophysiology in DBS. Since clinical applications are always in dynamic, highly-variable settings, and measurement is always messy, we need models to guide adaptive neuromodulation.

Why the name?

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) modulates the brain's state, and most-likely its accessible statespace. Also I wanted to be an astrophysicist growing up, so the name seemed to honor that.
