 **The Ideathon**\\
 An ideathon was held in June to develop ideas on tasks for the hackathon.\\
-  * Ideas wanted: ideas to combine machine learning modules referring to the brain to attain advanced functionality
+The hackathon teams were selected based on their ideathon proposals.
-  * Contents
+  * Ideas wanted: to combine machine learning modules referring to the brain to attain advanced functionality
+  * Contents to be proposed
+     * Functionality to be realized
+     * The way to realize the functionality
+     * Combination of machine learning modules
+     * Relevance to brain architecture
+     * Required resources (human & machine)
+  * Criteria for adopting
+     * Importance of the functionality
+     * Feasibility in the hackathon
+     * Originality/Room for further development
+     * Biological reality
+  * Sample ideas
+     * Video game play combining deep learning (visual cortex) and reinforcement learning (basal ganglia) (as in Deep-Q Network)
+     * Caption generation combining deep learning (visual cortex) and RNN (prefrontal/language cortex) (as in NeuralTalk @ Stanford U.)
