SciNapse 2022-2023 Undergraduate Science Case Competition: Neuroscience and The Future
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The SciNapse Undergraduate Science Case Competition (USCC) provides an opportunity for undergraduate students to experience the development of a novel research proposal. A case is presented to all participants and, using in-depth literature search (publications, reports, studies, and published writings), students connect and pinpoint key elements allowing them to develop a hypothesis in support of the case in question. Participants also develop a methodology which will test the validity of their hypothesis. This year’s case topic focused on the still emerging discipline of neuroscience and its far-reaching implications for the future of human and societal development. In teams of 1-4, undergraduate students tackled the case and provided novel research ideas that may lead to major advancements in neuroscience and its related fields. In total, the 2022-2023 USCC attracted 314 undergraduate students from 12 universities across North America. The top 25% of written submissions in each division are highlighted in this abstract booklet. You may find more information on the annual SciNapse USCC on our website at http://scinapsescience.com.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
