Hey Sergey and others, If you are interested in joining the current Kaggle team for the EEG contest, I want to make it clear that we're not looking for observers! We only want to add people to the team who are ready to take on tasks and complete them. Last time we had quite a few people on the team, and only a few actually doing any work. I totally understand the desire to join in just to listen and absorb the knowledge, but now it's time to take action. So if you still want to join the Kaggle team, let Fergal know, but be prepared to be assigned work! :)
