Thank you @FaberCapitano for submitting your project to BrainHack Marseille 2022! :tada::tada::tada: We ask you to add to this issue an image for your project, it should be descriptive but also captivating for potential participants! :wink: In the meanwhile, your project has been added to our website (with a default icon).
Ruggero for the BHM team.
Hello. Sorry for the late answer. Here the image for the project. I'd like just to ask a small modification on the project informations. Would it possible to add Jean-Yves Montenay as a contributors of the project?

Project Description
Navigating in space requires to continuously updating the representation of its own position in the environment. In poorly cued environments (e.g. in darkness) this can only be done by estimating the direction and the distance in order to compute a vectorial integration of the movement (so called path-integration). In a set of studies in rats we demonstrated that the entorhinal cortex plays a fundamental role in path integration. However, how the circuit infers the running distance is yet to be known. Using a distance estimation task, we discovered that the theta oscillations of the local field potential and the firing pattern of single neurons in the entorhinal cortex correlate with the running distance estimated by the rats. But how much and how well the unitary and the field activity allow the circuit to infer about the travelled distance? In the context of the BrainHack Marseille 2022, we would like to interact and collaborate with people with a good knowledge of neural decoding of EEG-LFP and/or unitary activity in order to implement proper methods to decode the estimated running distance starting from a dataset of electrophysiology recordings in behaving rats. The final goal will be to quantify the information carried by population and single units activity within the entorhinal circuit.
