Cracking the code and flow of empathy (VicariousBrain)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
Humans are exquisitely able to sense the motor intentions and emotions of others. In the last decade, using single cell recordings in monkeys and fMRI in humans, I have contributed to show that (1) mirror neurons and brain regions involved in the execution of a goal directed action also respond to the sound and sight of other people performing a corresponding action and (2) brain regions involved ...

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 ...

Identifying mechanisms of information encoding in myelinated single axons (ENCODING IN AXONS)
Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
A major challenge in neuroscience is to understand how information is stored and coded within single nerve cells (neurons) and across neuron populations in the brain. Nerve cell fibres (axons) are thought to provide the wiring to connect neurons and conduct the electrical nerve impulse (action potential; AP). Recent discoveries, however, show that the initial part of axons actively participates in ...
