Cracking the Pitch Code in Music and Language: Insights from Congenital Amusia and Autism Spectrum Disorders (CAASD)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2016, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2021,

Music and language share similar properties and are processed in overlapping brain regions. As a common information-bearing element in music and language, pitch plays an essential role in encoding musical melodies, signifying linguistic functions, and conveying emotions through music and speech. However, two distinct neurodevelopmental disorders, congenital amusia (CA) and autism spectrum disorder ...

Global Change 2.0: Unlocking the past for a clearer future (GC2.0)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2021,

The terrestrial biosphere responds rapidly and sensitively to climate change and is important in mediating physical and biogeochemical feedbacks to climate. There are still enormous uncertainties in our understanding of how the terrestrial biosphere will respond to changes in climate in the 21st century, and large uncertainties in predictions of the climate feedbacks. Many issues that limit our ab ...

Causality Relations Using Nonlinear Data Assimilation (CUNDA)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2021,

A major problem in understanding complex nonlinear geophysical systems is to determine which processes drive which other processes, so what the causal relations are. Several methods to infer nonlinear causal relations exist, but often lead to different answers, often perform hypothesis testing on causality, need long stationary time series, can be misleading if an unknown process drives the proces ...
