I'm a Haskell guy, kinda. I can mostly read ML (at least based on what I saw in Purely Functional Data Structures). I didn't know people still used ML.

Anything interesting. I'd like to see a neural net implemented and used for something -- I've only read about them from a theoretical standpoint. I've read this stuff and find it interesting http://home.dei.polimi.it/matteucc/Clustering/tutorial_html/ but would like to work on some concrete implementations with people.

I don't know the subject, but I'd be happy to teach anything I learn along the way.

No. Yes. Well, I'm not sure.

Not sure. I'm new to noisebridge.

No, but http://www.pinktentacle.com/2008/12/scientists-extract-images-directly-from-brain/ is inspiring (if accurate).
