Nonlinear Laser Lithography (NLL)

Date du début: 1 juin 2014, Date de fin: 31 mai 2019,

"Control of matter via light has always fascinated humankind; not surprisingly, laser patterning of materials is as old as the history of the laser. However, this approach has suffered to date from a stubborn lack of long-range order. We have recently discovered a method for regulating self-organised formation of metal-oxide nanostructures at high speed via non-local feedback, thereby achieving un ...

The RNA bridge between IRE-1 and PKR leading to metaflammation: discovery and intervention in atherosclerosis (metaRNAflammation)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,

A close functional and molecular integration between metabolic and immune systems is crucial for systemic homeostasis and its’ deregulation is causally linked to obesity and associated diseases including insulin resistance, diabetes and atherosclerosis and known as cardiometabolic syndrome (CMS). Metabolic overload initiates a chronic inflammatory and stress response known as metaflammation and pr ...

Magnetic Particle Imaging for Safe Angiography (MPI-ANGIO)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,

"Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is a new imaging modality with the ideal image contrast for angiography that uses completely different hardware from X-ray, CT, or MRI. MPI is now at an exciting stage of development similar to where MRI was in the early 1980s. Currently, there are no commercially available MPI scanners. Only a handful of prototype small animal MPI scanners have been constructed wo ...

Neural Mechanisms of Visual Perception and Attention (NEURO-VPA)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 2017,

"Attention is a control system that optimizes behavior by altering the way that incoming sensory information is processed. Determining how attention influences the way that information is represented throughout the brain is a core problem in sensory neuroscience. Recent evidence from primates suggests that attention can change tuning in single neurons at higher stages of visual processing. Tuning ...

The Haptic E-Model: A Computational Model of Human Sensory-Motor Performance in Haptic Manipulation (HapticEModel)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2010, Date de fin: 3 avr. 2015,

Haptic interaction refers to the form of interaction with a real or virtual environment based on the sense of touch. As the user experiences and interacts with an environment through a haptic system, the haptic system directly or indirectly alters the user's perception and motor control. Therefore, understanding the effects of the haptic system on the perception and motor control is important. The ...

Intelligent Micro-Manufacturing Processes (IMMP)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2010, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2014,

"There is an increasing demand by medical, energy, commercial and aerospace applications for miniature parts with micro-scale features. Being a versatile way of fabricating micro-scale parts on a wide range of materials, mechanical micro-machining can effectively address the demand. In micro-machining, features are machined by mechanically removing material from the workpiece using micro-scale cut ...

Development of Functional Nanofibers by Electrospinning (NANOWEB)

Date du début: 1 mai 2010, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2014,

"Electrospinning is a technique for producing nanofibers by creating a continuous filament by exposing a polymer solution or polymer melt to very high electrical fields. Due to its versatility and cost effectiveness, electrospinning has gained wide use recently to produce functional nanofibers from different materials, which include polymers, polymer blends, ceramics, sol-gels and composite soluti ...

THE DEBATE BETWEEN ISLAM AND THE WEST IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (DEBIWIST)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2014,

"Perceptions of Eastern scholars about modern European civilization—is not well documented. The subject has been a growing field, especially in the US, during the last decade but critical groundwork is not yet complete. Thus, it is still difficult to assess the attitudes of early modern Muslim intellectuals and statesmen toward modern Western civilization, and specifically its sciences and technol ...

Visual Perception of Surface Material Properties - Computational and fMRI investigations of spatio-temporal cues to perceived shininess (Material Perception)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 mars 2013,

Material qualities are an important aspect of the human visual experience, yet the neural processes by which surface material perception is mediated are still largely unstudied. This investigation focuses on one surface quality, whose underlying physical properties can be varied parametrically, namely apparent shininess. While previous studies have exclusively focused on stationary visual cues to ...

Assessing functional connectivity patterns within and among human visual cortical areas associated with contextual influences on visual perception (CONTEXT)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 mars 2013,

"Neurophysiological studies in the second half of last century using simple isolated stimuli have provided invaluable groundwork to understand aspects of human visual system, and led to the classical feed-forward model of vision. In the classical model the information processing occurs in a hierarchical manner in the visual system and the direction of information flow is more or less unidirectiona ...
