      I would like to map out connections in a part of the brain called the basal ganglia which is important for the control of movement. I would like to describe the connections in detail and hopefully discover something new and exciting that no one knew before!

      Hi Red Rubz.

      I would like to figure out where one should make little burns in the heart to treat a disease called atrial fibrillation. Nobody knows very well how to treat this disease and very often doctors resort to burning bits of the heart. If you burn too much, it is bad, so it is important that you make this little burns as effective as possible.

      I would like my computer models of the heart will be able to help figure out what the most efficient way of doing this is!
