Grid cells: From brains to technical implementation (GRIDMAP)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

Since the invention of the first computers, their speed and computing power have grown exponentially but their fundamental operating principles remain essentially unchanged. Computers are still operating on one or a few central processing units, each with limited interconnectivity. Such processors, coupled with fast access to memory, are good for performing precisely instructed operations on large ...

The limits of general relativity (LIMITSOFGR-2011-TPS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

"General relativity, Einstein's celebrated theory, has been very successful as a theory of the gravitational interaction. However, within the course of the last decades several issues have been pointed out as indicating its limitations: the inevitable existence of spacetime singularities and the fact that it is not a renormalizable theory manifest as shortcomings at very small scales. The inabili ...

Towards new Brain-Machine Interfaces: state-dependent information coding (SI-CODE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Brain Machine Interfaces (BMIs) are devices mediating communication between a brain and the external world, and hold the potential for a) restoring motor or sensory functions to people who lost them due to illness or injury, and b) understanding neural information processing through controlled interactions between neurons and external devices. However, the success of BMIs is hampered by the proble ...

LIGHT ELEMENT MOLECULAR SUPERCONDUCTIVITY: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH (LEMSUPER)

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

This project will develop methodology for the design of light element (B, C, O) cluster/molecule-based superconducting systems with higher transition temperatures. This will be achieved by integrating chemical synthesis of new materials with physical control of electron density and delocalisation underpinned by theoretical understanding benchmarked against evidence from advanced spectroscopies and ...

Multidisciplinary Quantum Gravity Studies (MULTI-QG-2011)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Feb 7, 2015,

"A major problem of quantum field theory in curved spacetime, and quantum gravity more generally, is the lack of sufficient observational and experimental guidance. To address this issue I am proposing a multi- disciplinary approach to quantum gravity, using its possible connection to easy-to-access physical systems whose description is well-established — in theory and experiment — within other fi ...

Latin America and Europe Liaison (LAEL)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

"Europe and Latin America have a very similar cultural background and share a common historical heritage. The present proposal aims at strengthening scientific collaborations and research partnerships between research institutions in Europe and in Latin America, in key emerging fields of contemporary science and in particular in • Neuroscience • Biophysics and Molecular Neurobiology • Bionanotechn ...

Molecular Networks of Dopaminergic Neurons in Chordates (DOPAMINET)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2012,

"Background. Parkinson Disease is the second most common progressive neurodegenerative disorder. The selective degeneration of subsets of midbrain dopaminergic neurons is believed to be the primary cause for disruption of the ability to control movements. Objective. We propose to apply a highly interdisciplinary approach to construct complex networks consisting of protein coding genes, non-protein ...

Brains in Dialogue: Brain Science at the service of European citizens (BID)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

"Main goal of the project is to build an effective dialogue among key-stakeholders in a crucial area of health advancement: Brain Science, and in particular Predictive Medicine, Brain Imaging and Brain Machine Interfaces. Advancements in these fields continuously provide new and very valuable information aimed at understanding how the most vital organ works and how neurological diseases can be tre ...

Emergent Spacetimes (EMERGENT-2007-SW)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

"In this application we investigate the possiblity that spacetime geometry may be an emergent phenomenon. This ideas have been motivated by the Analogue Gravity programme. An ""effective gravitational field"" dominates the kinematics of small perturbations in an Analogue Model. In these models there is no obvious connection between the ""gravitational"" field tensor and the Einstein equations, as ...

The physics of flavor in visible and dark sectors (FLAVIDAS)

Start date: May 10, 2010, End date: Jan 9, 2011,

"The topic of this proposal are two major open problems of high energy physics: the origin of flavor structure in the Standard Model and beyond, and the nature of Dark Matter (DM). We will (i) investigate the implications of flavor symmetries at future low energy machines and at CERN LHC, and (ii) develop a model independent description of direct DM searches and explore their relevance for astroph ...
