The Human Brain Project (HBP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Today, for the first time, modern ICT has brought these goals within sight. The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the ...

"""RNPnet"" - RNP structure, function and mechanism of action" (RNPNET)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

RNA molecules are at the heart of life. It is now commonly admitted that nearly all the human genome is transcribed, and a wealth of new coding and non-coding RNAs have been discovered. Importantly, modern RNAs are never naked, but always exist in complex with proteins to form RNPs (Ribonucleoproteins). In the case of non-coding RNAs, these proteins are usually stably associated with the RNA and h ...

Cultural and Biological Bases of Language Evolution (LANGEVO)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

The origins and evolution of human languages remains today one of the most fascinating unresolved puzzles of science and many disciplines are currently working on the subject. Computer scientists have also become involved, trying to program artificial agents in such a way that they are able to self-organize a language-like system from scratch. There are already some successful simulations. They en ...

Choreographing neural networks: coupling attractor dynamics and state-dependent computations across biomimetic brain interfaces with neuromorphic VLSI (CORONET)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

This project lays theoretical and technological foundations for future biohybrid and brain-machine-interface devices, taking advantage of recent progress in our theoretical understanding of brain, in-vivo and in-vitro electrophysiology, and biomimetic hardware components (neuromorphic VLSI). If successful, the project will interface biomimetic hardware devices seamlessly with neural tissues and, ...

On the conceptual representation of actions (ACTIONCONCEPTS)

Start date: Oct 3, 2011, End date: Oct 2, 2014,

"One question that has long captured the interest of philosophers, cognitive psychologists and linguists is how our brain mediates the knowledge we have about the world (i.e., concepts). The importance of this question is that concepts permit us to bring meaning to our experiences; they are core to language and nonverbal behavior and their impairment after brain damage generates significant disabi ...
