Non-Invasive In-Vivo Histology in Health and Disease Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (HMRI)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2014, Date de fin: 31 août 2019,
Understanding of the normal and diseased brain crucially depends on reliable knowledge of its microstructure. Important functions are mediated by small cortical units (columns) and even small changes in the microstructure can cause debilitating diseases. So far, this microstructure can only be determined using invasive methods such as, e.g., ex-vivo histology. This limits neuroscience, clinical re ...

Organic Semiconductors for NIR Optoelectronics (OSNIRO)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,
Scientific targets of the planned project are synthesis, characterization and application of NIR absorbing and emitting organic materials for Organic Electronics. NIR sensitive absorbers show a great potential for the development of a new generation of printable photodetectors with tuneable sensitivity windows that may be integrated into multifunctional devices for chemical/biological sensing or o ...

The Linguistic Past of Mesoamerica and the Andes: A search for early migratory relations between North and South America (MESANDLIN(G)K)
Date du début: 1 juin 2012, Date de fin: 31 mai 2017,
The aim of the project is to unravel the genetic and contact relations between the indigenous languages of Mesoamerica (Mexico and western Central America) and the Middle Andes region (Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia), as part of a larger endeavour to understand the historical process of the peopling of the Americas as a whole. The deep genetic links between the two regions will be investigated by systemat ...

Inverse Design on an Atomic scale: Multifunctional Heusler compounds! (IDEA Heusler!)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mars 2017,
Heusler compounds are a remarkable material, a vast collection of more than 1000 members with a large number of functionalities. The prototype Cu2MnAl is a ferromagnetic compound, even though none of its elemental constituents are magnetic. This is typical for this material class; the properties of many of the Heuslers can be forecast simply by counting the number of their valence electrons. Most ...

Neural basis of syntax in the developing brain (NEUROSYNTAX)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2011, Date de fin: 30 juin 2016,
"Language is a capacity specific to humans and thus biologically based. While our knowledge concerning the neural basis of language in the adult brain has increased considerably, little is known about the relation between language and brain during ontogeny. The present study will focus on the development of brain structure and language function in the domain of syntax. Behavioural and electrophysi ...

The Geometric Calculus of Variations and its Applications (VARIOGEO)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2011, Date de fin: 31 mars 2016,
"The project is concerned with the geometric calculus of variations and its applications in a wide range of fields. I start with fundamental examples of variational problems from geometry and physics, the Bernstein problem for minimal submanifolds of Euclidean spaces, non-abelian Hodge theory as a harmonic map approach to representations of Kähler groups, and Dirac harmonic maps as a mathematical ...

The cross-cultural development of resource allocation behaviour (XCULTDEVRESALL)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,
In human society, there is a need to regulate the allocation and distribution of goods to prevent conflicts over access to resources. The developmental trajectory of how children learn resource allocation rules has been established for children in Western cultures, but very little is known about the cross-cultural development of these behaviors. My project will thus investigate the cross-cultural ...

High Resolution Segmentation of Brain MR Images at 7 Teslas (HIRESBRAIN7T)
Date du début: 1 mars 2011, Date de fin: 31 août 2015,
"The advent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology has brought us closer to understanding brain function in health and disease. With 7 Teslas high field MRI machines, pioneers of imaging physics have made possible in-vivo examination of the human brain at sub-millimetre scale. New imaging contrasts additionally offer rich information regarding tissue organization and composition. While man ...

Genomic and Phenotypic Evolution of Bonobos, Chimpanzees and Humans (TWOPAN)
Date du début: 1 juin 2009, Date de fin: 31 mai 2015,
Humans have two closest living relatives: the well known chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and the lesser known bonobo (Pan paniscus). While the lineage leading to humans and the lineage leading to bonobos and chimpanzees split five to seven million years ago, the bonobo and chimpanzee lineages split around one million years ago. Despite such a recent divergence, these two ape species exhibit remarkabl ...

LIGHT ELEMENT MOLECULAR SUPERCONDUCTIVITY: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH (LEMSUPER)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 31 mars 2015,
This project will develop methodology for the design of light element (B, C, O) cluster/molecule-based superconducting systems with higher transition temperatures. This will be achieved by integrating chemical synthesis of new materials with physical control of electron density and delocalisation underpinned by theoretical understanding benchmarked against evidence from advanced spectroscopies and ...
