Summary outline of research studies currently active.

In addition to holding brief descriptions of the projects, these wiki pages are used by the lab to document ongoing work (for example, software programming notes).

We like to write lots of notes on the fly. The waist-deep-in-a-project, nuts-and-bolts documentation pages are usually only available to lab members.

We are happy to share code and techniques upon request.
