Timed decisions: causal mechanisms and TAGging of neuronal ensembles in the prefrontal cortex – TimeTag
As a key property of the nervous system, timing is essential in decision sequences, and is impaired in many neuropsychiatric conditions. Yet timing is poorly understood and is a difficult capability to control in artificial intelligence. Causally linking brain activity and decision timing could ther
Thin Film of Lithium and ZnO nanowires microgenerator : all Integrated for “perpetual Battery” on fLExible substrates – FLexIBLE
The project fits into the economic development strategy for alternative and sustainable sources of energy. The energy that we want to harvest in this project are ‘truly free’ mechanical sources like fluid flows (like wind or river), parasitic vibration (in engines or rotating machines, for example)
Thermally conducting paper substrates – 2D-Paper
A major trend in electronics is to become mechanically flexible and reach new areas in packaging, health care, intelligent industries, smart cities. Under the umbrella of internet of everything, new zero-energy devices are created on flexible substrates including an energy harvester, energy storage,
The use of technologies of phone and Internet interception by police and intelligence services and their private contractors: France in its European environment – UTIC
This project deals with international interceptions of communications. Their sweeping development reconfigures the logics of surveillance, interrogates their usual discourses of justification, redefines the limits of democracies and questions States’ sovereignty. Such diverse stakes calls for a tran
The powers of the soul. Anthropology of the experience (XIV-XVI) – ANTHRAME
ANTHRAME offers a fundamental research project on 14th-16th century anthropology in Italy that is sorely lacking. Now, although anthropology as a science was not established until the 18th century, we use this term to designate the questioning of the nature and functions of the human being, consider
The interactive eyeglasses for mobile, perceptual computing – eGlasses
The eGlasses project is focused on the development of an open platform in the form of multisensory electronic glasses and on the integration and designing of new intelligent interaction methods using the eGlasses platform. This is an initial development focused on long-term research and technologica
The evolution of extended phenotypes and associated signals in animals : weaverbirds’ nests and sexual selection as a case study – EXTENDEDPHENOTYPE
Objective 1 – Weaver nests are one of the most spectacular and diverse radiations of extended phenotypes. What is the role of sexual selection in shaping weaving pattern? In cognitive science, a processing bias refers to a preference for stimuli that are efficiently processed by the visual system a
The dynamics of ice sheet collapse in deglaciation periods – Ice-Collapse
During deglaciation, as in the one we are currently experiencing, the most dramatic ice losses occur at the margins of ice sheets, where vast ice streams and their marine extensions (floating ice shelves) collapse. These processes are now observed in Greenland and Antarctica, and growing evidence su
The Symphony of the Senses – MusicBrain
The Symphony of the Senses Under the control of our auditory system, music is experienced differently by each of us. It involves the nerve pathways of the reward circuit leading to pleasure seeking. Several neurotransmitters that are common to other forms of pleasure, such as eating, play a major
The Past Has Ears at Notre Dame – PHEND
In the aftermath of the devastating fire, the PHEND project — “The Past Has Ears at Notre-Dame” — investigates how the cathedral’s evolving architecture has shaped its soundscape over the centuries. Notre-Dame’s acoustic environment, though intangible, is inseparable from its physical structure and
