 # Guide to choosing an EEG/ECoG/LFP dataset
 
-*July 5-23, 2021*
+We have two types of ECoG datasets, each with their project template: one set from the AJILE12 dataset, and one set from Kai Miller's lab. Scroll down to see the project templates.
 
-New in 2021, we have ECoG datasets ([youtube](https://youtube.com/watch?v=rAqtrBhwS80)) from Kai Miller! This is a rare dataset from intracranial electrocorticographic recordings in clinical settings. Please watch Kai Miller's TED talk to familiarize yourself with this type of recording.

-*July 5-23, 2021*
+The behavior and theory datasets and project templates are combined into the same topic. They range from projects focused on data analysis (i.e. the Caltech dataset) to pure theory projects where you implement and study a model like a recurrent neural network. Scroll down to see the project templates.
 
-Everyone should consider the behavior-only datasets that we have, which are very rich with many subjects and many trials.
+Pure theory projects are usually pursued by more advanced students. If your group is relatively new to neuroscience, you should consider doing a dataset or behavior project *and* include a theory component to it.
+
+Every group can bring up and discuss theory projects. We have several example project templates for this that include code. However, a theory project can go in any direction.
