Eyewire II Question Box

Interesting! Well, hopefully proofreading them here will provide answers.

Thanks!

These are horizontal cells :slight_smile:

They look mighty interesting, any plans to your knowledge (and ability to say at this point) of us proofreading them?

Not at this moment, but hopefully a future endeavor! We actually need to do some more imaging of the OPL (outer plexiform layer) that includes horizontal cells and photoreceptors (yes, parts of this dataset are still being sliced and imaged via SEM and will be added!!). This will take some time to compile ofc, so very much TBD.

oh, very nice.

This does create another question though:

If the EOD (even on one side) changes/increases, what happens to all of the cells that will be by then completed that hit that/those side/sides? Ie; say that a bp cell that we are presently proofreading is "complete (cut off) b/c part of its Soma and dendrites are EOD, and after the addition(s) the soma and/or dendrites are now in the dataset…do we re-proofread those cells to include the new stuff? are they somehow auto-included by the AI? The new additions to already proofread cells are ignored and cells are proofread after the new additions are just ā€˜larger’ than those proofread before?

Good question - I don’t know. However, since ng is based on iterative editing it shouldn’t be too tricky. I have a feeling they’ll run some queries to pull any cut-off cells and we’ll have a list to go through and check. We’ll add any missing extensions/segments to update the cell and then recomplete it :slight_smile:

Sounds like a plan, can’t wait! :slight_smile:

Since we are annotating the cells with hits edge and true end can this be somehow used at a later date to continue the proofreading. So we only need to proofread the new part, but with old annotations still there?

so far i have only used the hits edge on dendrites hitting edge and not where the soma/steam hit edge since this is mostly all cells, but from what you say it would be smart to also mark this as hit edge in case we get more data here.

In theory, yes those annotations can help us for the future to find any branches that may have new extensions and need to be proofread.

I don’t think it’s necessary to mark the soma/stem as ā€œhits edgeā€, since we already annotate that spot with the soma annotation.

Hey all! Life has been dizzying lately but I’d like to start getting back in to the neuromapping stuff, here or whatever other project might need me.

Where’s the best place for me to jump in? What needs doing?

hi welcome back, there is a list of tasks from eyewire II here that we are currently working on Eyewire Elite Proofreading Task - Focused BCs - Google Sheets
We have been asked to prioritize the tasks from the top and not jump to far ahead max 20-30 empty rows in the list when working.

And there’s 14101 of them BPs and we’ve completed just shy of 13% in that gsheet sooooo jump in, the water’s nice and lukewarm and we couldn’t possibly handle them all, all on our own lol
