Cognitive Systems Lab

Inspiration from other labs

We drew inspiration from many other al-folio and Jekyll websites, including:

★ Kording Lab ★ Sanders Lab ★ Fraser Lab ★ Allan Lab ★ Drummond Lab ★ Programming Group ★ Lira Lab ★

Preview Site Locally

You can build your GitHub Pages site locally to preview and test changes to your site by following the instructions from github documentation here. After following the instructions go to the local repository folder and run the following command (this is just done once unless new gems are added)

bundle install

Then run the following command to build the site and serve it locally

bundle exec jekyll serve --force_polling

### Publications

Your publications' page is generated automatically from your BibTex bibliography. Simply edit [\_bibliography/papers.bib](_bibliography/papers.bib). You can also add new `*.bib` files and customize the look of your publications however you like by editing [\_pages/publications.md](_pages/publications.md). By default, the publications will be sorted preprint and published status, then by year and the most recent will be displayed first. 

You can add extra information to a publication, like a PDF file in the [assets/pdf/](assets/pdf/) directory and add the path to the PDF file in the BibTeX entry with the `pdf` field. Some of the supported fields are: `abstract`, `altmetric`, `arxiv`, `bibtex_show`, `blog`, `code`, `dimensions`, `doi`, `eprint`, `html`, `isbn`, `pdf`, `pmid`, `poster`, `slides`, `supp`, `video`, and `website`.

More details may be found at the [Jekyll-Scholar documentation](https://github.com/inukshuk/jekyll-scholar).

#### Adding a new publication

1. Add a new publication to your BibTeX file by appending the BibTeX of the new paper to [\_bibliography/papers.bib](_bibliography/papers.bib).
2. Add the following fields to the BibTeX entry for the new paper:
```yaml
renamed={Michael Potter , Deniz Erdogmus}, # spell out full names of the authors to easily link the paper to user profiles
preview={J_Potter_UAVRec_TAES_2024.png}, # display a preview image of the paper
abstract={Write your abstract of paper here},
html= {Link to your paper here likehttps://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/10638802},
status={published}, # published , arxiv , submitted
selected={true}, # true / false. If true, displays the paper on the about page of the website AND the publications page
abbr={TAES}, # Abbreviation for the journal / venue
year={2023},

3. Add a preview image of the paper to the assets\img\publication_preview directory. Save the image using the SPIRAL naming conventions found in the SPIRAL handbook. To reduce the memory footprint of the preview image, use squoosh.app to convert the image to webp format.

GitHub's repositories and user profiles

We display GitHub repositories and user profiles on the /repositories/ page.

Adding a new github user profile

1. Edit the _data/repositories.yml and add the username to to the list of github_users

Adding a new github repository

1. Edit the _data/repositories.yml and add the github repository to to the list of github_repos as username/repo_name OR
2. Add the CSL team (under the SPIRAL organization) to the github repository's collaborators following the instructions here. If you do this, the repository will automatically be added to the /repositories/ page on the website, and you do not need to do step 1. You will find your repository under the _data/repositories_scrape.yml.

Note, your github repository will only appear on the /repositories/ page if it is public.

github_users:
  - Yunusbcr
  - mlpotter
  - klockwood19
  - ahmetdemirkayaee
  - akbar-navid
  - Elifnursunger
  - singh17ashu
  - byzklknl
  - Faghihpirayesh

github_organizations:
  - neu-spiral

repo_description_lines_max: 2

github_repos:
  - mlpotter/SAWAR
  - mlpotter/RCS_ATR
  - CAMBI-tech/BciPy

Note, that all users and public repositories in the Cognitive Science Lab are automatically scraped from the CSL team in the SPIRAL github organization using the _plugins/github_repos.rb Ruby script plugin.
