Project Title 1: Experiment Design

Brief Description
    Create an easy-to-use interface that gives experimenters the 
freedom to design almost any type of experiment to be run online.
It would need to be intuitive to use and not limit the designers
in the types of experiments and the ways the experiments were run.

Identify Local Users:
    Most Cognitive Science and Psychology professors and concen-
trators routinely conduct experiments on current research.

Assign a 1-5 score for these criteria
    Useful to others: 3
    Has specific users: 5
    Can be scaled up to PC product: 5
    Divisible: 3
    In C++ in Sunlab (Linux): 5

    Overall: 21

Pros: Interesting idea, don't have an obvious solution.

Cons: Might be difficult to divide up, difficult to come up with
    all possible experiment combinations.

Project Title 2: Go Fish

Brief Description
    In order to better understand the visual system, the Dept.
of Neuroscience is analyzing tadpoles' behaviors when moving 
stripes are displayed below them.  This software would track 
this movement from film and provide some basic statistics as
to how a tadpole's movement relates to the moving stripes.

Identify Local Users:
    The researchers at the Dept. of Neuroscience.

Assign a 1-5 score for these criteria
    Useful to others: 3
    Has specific users: 5
    Can be scaled up to PC product: 3 
    Divisible: 1
    In C++ in Sunlab (Linux): 5

    Overall: 17

Pros: Same idea of motion tracking could *theoretically* be 
applied to all sorts of other problems/fields.

Cons: It is unclear (to me, at least) if the motion tracking
is feasible and, even if it is, it is unclear if the software we 
would write for this program would be at all extensible to any
other problems.

Project Title 3: Online Course Registration

Brief Description
    I want to provide a flexible online course registration
program that wouldn't just work for Brown, but could be used by 
other schools as well.  It should have a very simple and inituitive
interface for administators and/or professors to set up the 
registration to begin with as well as have a simple online interface
for the actual registering of classes.  The entire point would be
for the program to change how it looks for the school and not have
the school change how it looks to accommodate the program.

Identify Local Users:
    Brown faculty and students are everywhere!

Assign a 1-5 score for these criteria
    Useful to others: 3
    Has specific users: 5
    Can be scaled up to PC product: 5
    Divisible: 4
    In C++ in Sunlab (Linux): 5

    Overall: 22

Pros: Demonstrates that a program of this type can be flexible 
enough to accommodate different ways of doing the same thing.

Cons: Probably wouldn't be used in the long run if there was no
one there to maintain it (life after CS190?).
