Summary and Blog Stats

Our service learning grid project focused on contributing to Cognitive Neuroscience research by utilizing the computational power of multiple computers to increase processing efficiency and data collection.  We connected to the Mindmodeling@Home grid project.  Through our interview with Dr. Sturgill and evaluation of our research paper, we were able to gain a better understanding of the evolution of the human brain and its cognitive capabilities through morphological changes. As a result, we were able to gain a better appreciation for our cognitive abilities and how the modern human skull and brain has evolved from that of our recent ancestors and relatives such as Neanderthal. 

Units contributed to the grid: 18, 528.10 as of March 2, 2013
Currently ranked as number 621 (based on average use) out of 2000+ contributors.

Our grid completed a record-breaking 52 jobs, roughly 13,000 days worth of computation, in less than one month.
