From Moritz Helmstaedter on #RoboEM:
"In today’s AI research, any project lasting longer than 6 months is considered slow, if not outdated and overrun by history. RoboEM, with a concept and an approach that seem quite plausible, still took 5 years from idea to the fully evaluated tool reported here. This was only possible with the patient support of the Max Planck Society, which encourages long-term projects, and the tenacity of the first author. Details made all the difference. And, as often, dead ends had to be avoided efficiently. We had to abandon, for example, the idea of using steering variability to indicate branch points — a nice analogy to road intersections in car steering, but too far-fetched to work well enough in brain tissue data. Sometimes giving up beloved ideas is as important as following through on others. M.H."
