"With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility"

Week 2:
               After finally deciding on a project topic, the group used the class time to discuss the final decision with the advisor. The proposed idea was approved, so from there the roles of the project were assigned. Jasmin and Gabrielle were assigned the role of Mouse Prototyping Interface. Maxime was assigned the role of Physiological Interfacing via Instrumentation. Jenna was assigned the role of Signal Processing and Extraction. Once the roles were assigned, a general timeline for the project was established, as seen in Table 1.

          After creating the weekly goals of the project, this blogging website was created in order to keep track of the weekly activities. It will be updated at least once a week to show the progress of the project. In week 3, a project proposal page will be posted, which is what the remainder of this week's lab period was dedicated to.
