Eyewire 2018 Stats
Now that we stand in 2019, one step closer to completing The Dig, let’s look back on 2018. We asked in the forum what stats you wanted to see, and Eyewirers had some great suggestions! Here we’ve compiled a snapshot of 2018 by the numbers….

Cells for Days
Eyewirers discovered 6 new types of neurons in 2018 via a publication in Cell. Three have so far been named by the community: Hyperion, Theia, and Arachne. Looking forward to naming 3 more in 2019!
We completed 2,278 cells. Roughly 1.2 cells were completed each day in Eyewire, coming to 617 retinal cells. Mystics completed 1,661 zebrafish cells, wow!

Competitions
In 2018 there were 12 marathons, 24 team VS, 6 challenge weeks, and at least 168 Happy Hours.
9,767 players participated in competitions. This number includes duplicated players
The competition with the most participants was HH180 on June 7 with 223 people. We were more than a little surprised by this!
2nd post popular competition was the honeybee marathon during the Eyewire Brain Zoo with 215 participants.
Most popular Versus: Sleeping vs Being Awake with 93 participants (Being Awake won).
These competition numbers do not include our special competition, the Eyewire World Cup, which was won by team Antarctica.
Reminisce with some of the Eyewire Challenge Week art from 2018. Big shoutout to Daniela Gamba who has shown an uncanny ability to work neurons into pretty much any composition. She and I worked closely to translate Devon and Celia’s brilliant competitions into compositions that reflect the essence of Eyewire, especially with the art of Alice in Neuroland. For science!
