That's about right. My end product is also a computer simulation, as far as that goes, but I'm taking an obsessively data-driven approach, motivated by the advent of new technologies for single-neuron measurement and perturbation in living, behaving animals. Meanwhile, OpenWorm is taking a bottom-up approach, driven by physics and other first principles. We'll meet in the middle eventually.

yo david, long time no talk.. did you ever get a chance to make use of this data set?

It's a few thousand hours of videos of the worms under different stimulation conditions for observing/identifying common behaviors.

We miss you in IRC.

The videos and statistics, as well as a description of the setup used for the recordings can be found here:

BTW, what you're attempting blew my mind away. That's a nice hack involving many different disciplines, it will be amazing if you can pull this off.
