Artificial Grammar Learning, Neural Networks, and Major Transitions in the Evolution of Cognition

This project is organised using the DrWatson.jl package (see here). To reproduce the project in full, do the following:

Clone this repository and run the following in julia with the path to this project (activate the package manager using ]):
```
 julia> cd("path/to/this/project")
 pkg> activate .
 pkg> instantiate
```
Install MySQL and set up a user with read/write privileges.
Fill out ./src/database_connection.csv with your database details. Use ./src/user_database_connection.csv as a template.

MySQL Set Up

Install MySQL for your system.
Start the mysql service.
Set a root password (best practice) using mysqladmin -u root password. It will then ask you to enter and then confirm your password.
Run mysql in your terminal as root using mysql -u root -p.
Create a user by running the line below. Remember to change the username, host, and password, and store them in a copy of the user_database_connection.csv file, renamed to be database_connection.csv (this will be gitignored).

CREATE USER 'username'@'host' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Grant privileges to this user. The below code grants all privileges on the user. Note that you should only do this for a local database. Replace ALL with a comma-delimited list of privileges (e.g., CREATE, ALTER, DROP) that you want to grant. See here for a full list of privileges. You will need at least ALTER, CREATE, DELETE, DROP, INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE. Note that WITH GRANT OPTION also grants the privilege to grant other users with this user's privileges.

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'username'@'host' WITH GRANT OPTION;

Run FLUSH PRIVILEGES to reload grant tables and put privileges into effect.
Verify the privileges of the user by running: SHOW GRANTS FOR 'username'@'host';
Exit root with exit and then log into your new user with mysql -u username -p in the terminal.

Run CREATE DATABASE databasename; in root (or in your user if it has the right privileges) and store the databasename in database_connection.csv.

It is also handy to have MySQL Workbench for easy data inspection.
