Ooooh! I love this idea! I have some projects that would make an excellent fit for a rotation student. Not sure what the formal process is since I'm not an affiliate neuro faculty member yet, but I'll look into that :) I'd be happy to chat more if any of the students are interested.

I have a full course on R for Psychology and Neuroscience, which includes sample programs and lecture videos. Also has some recommended books on R programming. Perfect for beginners!
