Evolution of local adaptation in anthropogenic environment – ELOCANTH
Metal pollution largely results from human activities and raises societal and environmental issues. Metallophyte species grow on such toxic areas and are examples of successful adaptations to anthropogenic environmental modifications. Therefore, they are model species for the understanding of conditions required for adaptation to metal pollution.
Development of conflict detection during thinking – DEVCON
Decades of reasoning and decision-making research have shown that human judgment is often biased by intuitive heuristics. Recent studies on conflict detection during thinking nevertheless indicate tha
Extraretinal signals in perception and action – EPA
Vision is more than the processing of retinal information. Moving our eyes to different parts of the scene is crucial to the collection of the high-acuity visual information that is the basis of visio
Cochlear hair cell endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis and deafness. – COC-ERpathy
Hearing loss is the most frequent sensory defect in humans with a strong genetic component. We have recently shown that mutations in TMPRSS3, a type II transmembrane serine protease, induce DFNB8/10 d
The Temporal Interactions between Conscious and Unconscious Perceptual Streams – TICUPS
Temporal interactions between conscious and unconscious perceptual streams (TICUPS): an investigation based on the Motion-Induced Blindness Illusion
Multimodal Imaging of sub-chondral bone in osteoarthritis of the knee: predictive capacity – MOSART
Factors of progression of osteoarthritis are not well known but a greater impact is given to subchondral bone in this poor outcome.<br />The proposed translational research aims to identify predictive factors of knee osteoarthritis from MRI and high resolution analysis of bone texture.
Survey and Modelling of East Antarctica – SUMER
This project aims at a better understanding of the specific dynamics of outlet glaciers. It is based on a double approach combining field observations and numerical modelling. Because more than 90% of the ice outflux to the ocean is channelled by these glaciers, simulating their behaviour is necessary for improving future sea level predictions.
Symmetry breaking and birth of chirality in molecular films : an approach with nonlinear optics – DynaChir
The Dynachir project addresses the fundamental question of the birth of homochirality in molecular systems. This will be achieved with an innovative approach using nonlinear optical techniques in the
Interaction between inclusions mediated by lipid membranes – MEMINT
We will probe the interaction induced by lipid membranes between included molecules (and other nano-objects). This study presents both a fundamental interest, from the point of view of soft matter phy
Dynamic Reconstruction of Region Of Interest Tomography. Theory and Experiments. Reconstruction Dynamique de Région d'Intérêt en Tomographie. Théorie et Expérimentations. – DROITE
To reconstruct medical images from truncated radiographic projections of organs that are in motion during the data acquisition.<br />To develop solid theoretical bases for the development of robust and efficient algorithms.<br />To test and evaluate these methods in the context of interventional imaging, in orthopedics in the framework of pedicle screw insertion and in radiotherapy of lung tumours.
