We plan to apply as a mentoring organization in 2016, with projects proposed and mentored by Open Ephys developers and users. Below is our initial project ideas list. The list will be updated until a few days before the mentoring application deadline on February 19, so please check back here for updates.
Get started:
Open Ephys is a volunteer-run organization that maintains open-source tools for the neuroscience community. The Open Ephys GUI, the software at the core of our open-source ecosystem, has been used to collect scientific data in hundreds of labs around the world. What makes open source neuroscience tools especially important is that the field is evolving so rapidly that scientists need to constantly devise new tools and experiments in order to run new experiments - Open Ephys makes this possible.

Proposals and ideas for potential Open Ephys projects within Google Summer of Code 2016:
- Add plugin that interfaces with signal processing methods written in julia.
- Add plugin generation module: GUI to auto-generate a plugin template given various parameter.
- Add plugin that handles triggered/time point aligned time-series data, and then applies analyses on it:
> Basic plugin should build on/refactor existing LFP viewer, and handle time series data, allow scrolling back trough past data
> Plugin should handle stacks of triggered time-point aligned data. This should be flexible enough to trigger only on certain events, and handle subsets of channels etc.
> Plugin should then apply analyses on the time-point aligned data: average+quantiles/std, time-frequency analysis, etc. - Add more granular channel handling functions and associated UI
- use acceleremoteres for phenotyping!
- real time-ish sleep scoring
- openBCI integration, maybe together with sleepscoring
