Technical Documents and Tools

These are documents or tools that are used in Dan Gauthier's Lab. Most of these have been created by members of the group. Because they were created primarily for our use, there may be references or assumptions which do not make sense outside of that context. We apologize for any such occurrences and will address them as we can.
