Multidisciplinary Approaches to Translational Research In Conduct Syndromes (MATRICS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2019,

Conduct Disorder (CD) is the key paediatric disorder characterized by severe aggression. It is heterogeneous, and our understanding of the neurobiology to subtype aggression is limited. MATRICS is a multidisciplinary consortium of academic partners and SMEs that focuses on the subtyping of aggression both within CD and of the broader cross-disorder trait of aggression. MATRICS will test the hypoth ...

Training the Next Generation of European Visual Neuroscientistsfor the benefit of innovation in health care and high-tech industry (NextGenVis)

Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Feb 28, 2019,

The human visual brain can learn and adapt to change, which solves many of the problems posed by an ever-changing visual environment. However, to maintain a consistent overall representation of the visual world, the brain also has to retain previously acquired neuronal mechanisms. The key is to strike a balance between plasticity and stability.Increasing our knowledge about the stability and plast ...

Paediatric European Risperidone Studies (PERS)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

"Second-generation antipsychotics are increasingly being prescribed to children and adolescents. Their use, however, is mostly off-label, and adequate and sufficient data about efficacy and particular safety are lacking. This proposal focuses on two indications, the use of risperidone in children and adolescents with conduct disorder who are not mentally retarded, and the use of risperidone in ado ...

A Modular Smart System for Infants' Rehabilitation At Home based on Mechatronic Toys (CareToy)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

Stroke and other neurological conditions affect the population of infants in percentages that cannot be considered marginal. Preterm infants are the highest infants at risk for neurological damage. Currently, infants have rehabilitation sessions few times a week in rehabilitation centres but according to basic neuroscience it would be necessary to provide them with an early, intensive and multiaxi ...

Patient-centric model for remote management, treatment and rehabilitation of autistic children (MICHELANGELO)

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

Q- EEG is used in medical labs to determine the brain connectivity in autistic children but due to the artificial nature of this lab-based approach its validity under a real-life scenario is doubtful.Also therapeutic interventions are executed typically in a clinical setting and have a limited extension in time while it has been proved the beneficial effect of an intensive intervention.Moreover, a ...

Space, Time and Number In the Brain (STANIB)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

The primary aim of this project is to establish in Pisa a European Centre of Excellence dedicated to frontier, interdisciplinary research of human perception. The research will focus primarily on the human visual system (and its development), but will also investigate key issues of cross-sensory integration. The Institute of Neuroscience has been a leading centre of visual research since its ince ...

Robotics UBIquitous COgnitive Network (RUBICON)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

Description Self-learning robotic ecology RUBICON will create a self-learning robotic ecology, consisting of a network of sensors, effectors and mobile robot devices. Enabling robots to seamlessly operate as part of these ecologies is an important challenge for robotics R&D, in order to support ap ...
