The listening challenge: How ageing brains adapt (AUDADAPT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

Humans in principle adapt well to sensory degradations. In order to do so, our cognitive strategies need to adjust accordingly (a process we term “adaptive control”).The auditory sensory modality poses an excellent, although under-utilised, research model to understand these adjustments, their neural basis, and their large variation amongst individuals. Hearing abilities begin to decline already i ...

Endoscopic Comprehensive Optical Multimodal Molecular Intelligent Imaging (ENCOMOLE-2i)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

Optical imaging has exceptional potential for medical diagnosis, because it can provide high spatial resolution and molecular contrast. However, for in vivo imaging in humans, the poor penetration of only a few millimetres is a major obstacle. Optical endoscopes solve this problem, but currently most of them only perform non-advanced, classical white light imaging. Also, the speed of current devic ...
