I've been accepted into the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Undergraduate Research Program this summer! Hooray! I have accepted and have preliminary details about what I would be working on - studying learning and memory in drosophila and altering code/hardware for the flight simulator to better track drosophila flight patterns or something like that. It sounds pretty interesting and does indeed combine parts of neuroscience (including memory!) with parts of computer science pretty interestingly. Hopefully, it will all work out nicely.
If you're interested, here is the lab page explaining the research.
