How the balance of excitation and inhibition shapes orientation selectivity and center-surround interactions in superficial layers in area V1: a combined experimental and modeling project – BalaV1
The activity of neurons in the primary visual cortex (V1) displays a very high level of synaptic «noise«. But is it really «noise«? Theoretical studies indicated that the «noise« is the result of the strong interactions - excitatory and inhibitory – taking place between neurons. These interactions must be balanced (so-called «balanced« state) for maintaining the activity level in a reasonable range. Our aim is to study the role of this emerging noise in the genesis of the responses in area V1.
Structure and Organisation of Government Project – SOG-PRO

Photography and Landscape.: Knowledge, Practice, Project. – photopaysage
Representations of landscape are constantly put in debate through professional and artistic practices. Photography isn't only recording; it orders a new gaze, new customs, and new ways of practicing territorial planning.We will be studying photography from the conjunct perspective of the genesis of its practices and the landscape project.
Second research project on law & politics – Droitpol 2
The second research project in “droit politique” aims at promoting an approach of constitutional law that does not reduce it to case law. The concept of “droit politique” requires looking at constitutional law through its practice, its history and its philosophical foundations, i.e. through this culture (which alone gives it its true meaning), in a perspective that is both multidisciplinary and comparative.
ATTentive at schoOL. Development of a cognitive neuroscience-based program teaching attention skills in the classroom – ATOL
given that the project is specifically intended for an audience of french teachers , we depart from our usual procedure (in our neuroscience projects) and provide only the summary and main documents in French.
Green synthesis of nanoalloys confined into porous scaffolds – GENESIS
Green synthesis of nanoalloys confined into porous scaffolds<br /><br />Genesis project is a fundamental research project led by Claudia Zlotea from ICMPE-CNRS (Thiais). It brings together two other partners : the French laboratory IS2M (Mulhouse) and the mixed international laboratory CNRS-MIT MSE2 (Boston). The project started on March 2014 for a 42 months period. The project was funded with 390 k€ by ANR for a global cost of around 1855 k€.
Dynamic Matching and Interactions: Theory and Experiments – DynaMITE
The objective of this project is to develop a new generation of theoretical models of dynamic matching, voting and networks by embedding static decisions in dynamic models represented by Markov processes. The project is subdivided into three sub-projects. Dynamatch is devoted to the study of dynamic matching problems., Dynavote focuses on dynamic voting models. Dynanet is a project on dynamic formation of networks.
Cortical processing of visual space : retinotopy or “perceptopy” ? – PERCEPTOPY
How does the brain represent visual space: as it projects onto the retinas (objective representations) or as we perceive it (subjective representations)? The aim of the present project is to question the dogma of purely objective spatial representations in the visual brain.<br />
Process for olefin hydrosilylation involving nanostructured catalysts – HYSINANO
The HYSINANO project deals with the olefin hydrosilylation process, producing functional silicone oils. This reaction is industrially catalyzed by a platinum complex but the catalyst can not be separated from the products. The objectives of the project is to find solutions to avoid this platinum «consumption«.
