Understanding creativity and problem solving through sleep-engineering (SolutionSleep)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2017, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2022,
Innovative problem solving is critical for all spheres of organised endeavour, including science and industry, and thus forms the cornerstone of a successful society. Such creative thinking often requires suppression of preconceptions and restructuring of existing knowledge. Pioneering work has shown that sleep facilitates problem solving, but exactly how, and which sleep characteristics are imp ...

The psychology and neurobiology of cognitive control training in humans (CCT)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2015, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2020,
Cognitive control regulates our thoughts and actions, helping us avoid impulsive behaviours that are inappropriate, costly or dangerous. In recent years, evidence has emerged that training in behavioural tasks that promote response inhibition or avoidance of specific stimuli can enhance cognitive control, reducing overeating and alcohol consumption. Despite the promising nature of cognitive contro ...

Lighting up the dark - the evolution of dust throughout cosmic time (CosmicDust)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2015, Date de fin: 31 août 2020,
After more than two decades of infrared astronomy, we still know very little about the origin and evolution of cosmic dust in galaxies, responsible for obscuring half of all starlight since the Big Bang. This obscured starlight is re-radiated in a region of the electromagnetic spectrum that is still relatively unexplored. Herschel provides a unique opportunity to resolve this by revealing the 90% ...
