When universal visuo-motor mechanisms meet endogenous and language-related processes: Determining principles of eye-movement control in reading. – UniversalRead2
Our project aimed at investigating the processes involved during reading based on a pluridisciplinary approach. It had three main goals. The first was the behavioral study of the low-level, and presumably universal, visuo-motor mecanisms that drive the eyes along the lines of text during reading. It
Algorithms for modeling the visual system: From natural vision to numerical applications. – KEOpS
While the behavior of the ganglion cells of the retina seems well-understood during the presentation of artificial stimuli (a model with a spatial and temporal filter followed by a non-linear function is relevant presentation), when the retina is studied in the condition if natural image sequence, i
Molecular and evolutive bases for the cell adhesion properties of some non-catalytic alpha/beta-hydrolases – MOLADCEL
Our previous works have led to (i) define the properties of the alpha/beta hydrolase fold superfamily of proteins and the evolutionary relationships of these proteins with the ESTHER database, (ii) characterize structurally and functionally two distinct family members, the enzyme acetylcholinesteras
Participation animation governance and sustainability in eco-disticts – PAGODE
Beyond discourse, it is to understand whether - and possibly how - eco-districts can be a test, a «third space« (between private and public), or a chance for urban experiments and social carriers of new ways of integrating human governance and urban project. • Reinstate the «human« (social pilla
Bitcoin User Network Analysis and Mining – BITUNAM
Analyzing Bitcoin data is very challenging, due to the size of the data (hundreds of millions of transactions), the pseudonymity of actors, and the general lack of knowledge about who are the actors of the Bitcoin economy and what are their activities. The aim of the project is to solve some of thes
Social Choice and Social Networks – SCONE
The SCONE project studies social choice in the presence of a social network that links decision-makers. It is built around three research objectives: • OBJ1 - The study of the diffusion of opinions under constraints, in particular the exploration of the links between updating functions computable
Selective modulation of activated astrocytes: In vivo monitoring by magnetic resonance and contribution to neuronal death in Huntington’s disease – ACTIVASTRO
We propose to develop molecular tools to assess the contribution of reactive astrocytes to neurodegenerative diseases in vivo and validate brain imaging techniques to track astrocyte status in situ. This translational project will provide (1) preclinical molecular tools to modulate the status of ast
Computational methods for the analysis of transcriptional regulation in Plasmodium falciparum – PlasmoExpress
Malaria is one of the deadliest infectious diseases, threatening half a billion humans worldwide with a yearly death toll of 1 to 2 million people, mainly in developing countries. Malaria is due to infections by protozoan parasites of the Plasmodium genus, transmitted by bites of female Anophel
Epigenetics and post-translational control of gene expression at the chomatin level – CHROMAPKA
Our objective is to contribute, by proteomics and phosphoproteomics approaches, to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms occurring in time and space at the chromatin level to control gene expression. We wish to reconstitute which proteins shuttle to or from the chromatin and which get dynami
Genetic Dating in the Post-Genomic Era – DATGEN
The advent of high-throughput genotyping technologies has revolutionized evolutionary biology and genetics. These fields are now inundated by massive quantities of data, as determining dense sets of genotypes from individual genomes is no longer an overly expensive and difficult task. In the next fe
