Présentation

The research process in neuroscience is not without its drawbacks: experiments that
do not work, incorrect analysis, wrong interpretations, negative results or unexpected
observations that sometimes result in breakthrough discoveries. Most of these episodes
leave no trace or are quickly forgotten in a drawer by the researchers. This project
brings some back to light.
