Concept Invention Theory (COINVENT)

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

The capacity of combinational creativity---i.e., when novel ideas are produced through unfamiliar combinations of familiar ideas---is difficult to recreate computationally. In particular, it is a hard task for autonomous computational systems to tackle the combinatorial explosion of potential combinations, and to be capable of recognizing the value of newly created ideas (concepts, theories, solut ...

The merging of the senses: understanding multisensory experience (MULTISENSE)

Start date: Aug 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2016,

"The integration of information across different sensory channels is a fundamental problem that we have to solve in every moment of daily life. We will study four key aspects of multisensory processing that are currently unresolved: (1) the role of dynamic binding in multisensory experience; (2) the role of action and sensorimotor contingencies in multisensory processing; (3) the modulation of mul ...

Mind the Gap: Mechanism and Impact of Ceramide Trafficking at the ER-Mitochondrial Interface (MeCeTERMitI)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2015,

A principal cause of failure in the treatment of cancer is that cancer cells develop resistance to chemo- and radiotherapy, leading to recurrence of the disease or even death. Sphingolipid molecules can modulate the ability of malignant cells to grow and resist anticancer regimens, with some molecules promoting tumorigenesis and others acting as tumor-suppressors. The tumor-suppressor activity of ...

Robustness by Autonomous Competence Enhancement (RACE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

Description The aim of RACE is to develop an artificial cognitive system, embodied by a service robot, able to build a high-level understanding of the world it inhabits by storing and exploiting appropriate memories of its experiences. In this way, experiences provide a detailed account of how the robot has achieved past goals or how it has ...

A system view on the differential activities of human type I interferons (IFNaction)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

Type I interferons (IFNs) form a restricted network of highly related immune cytokines that elicit differential biological responses through a single cell surface receptor comprised of the subunits IFNAR1 and IFNAR2. We have shown that differential signal activation correlates with differential interaction and conformational dynamics of the receptor induced by binding of different member of the IF ...

Coordinating Twinning partnerships towards more adaptive Governance in river basins (Twin2Go)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

Over the past years, the EU has funded several projects that undertook research on specific integrated water resources management (IWRM) issues in case studies carried out on twinned river basins from Europe and from developing countries. The aim of Twin2Go now is to review, assess, synthesize and consolidate the outcomes of these projects in order to make them transferable and applicable to other ...

Artificial Language Evolution on Autonomous Robots (ALEAR)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2011,

This tightly integrated focused project aims at fundamental breakthroughs in understanding and synthesising the mechanisms achieving cognition and language. It engages in carefully controlled experiments in which autonomous humanoid robots self-organise rich conceptual frameworks and communication systems with similar features as those found in human languages. Language and cognition are seen as c ...

Synthetic Forager (SF)

Start date: Jan 15, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2010,

The single overarching goal of the SF consortium is to identify the neuronal, cognitive and behavioral principles underlying optimal foraging in rodents and to implement these principles in a real-world foraging artefact or the Synthetic Forager (SF.01). SF.01 constitutes a novel biologically based cognitive technology for autonomous exploration and foraging in real-world man-made indoor and outdo ...
