Predictive Neural Information for Proactive Actions: From Monkey Brain to Smart House Control (Plan4Act)
Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,
Planning and mental simulation of actions and outcomes are a major cognitive trait of humans. We predict action consequences and perform goal-directed actions in proactive, forward-looking ways. By contrast, systems that lack predictive planning are reactive and dominated by reflex-like, cumbersome behaviors. Most currently existing brain-machine-interfaces (BMI) fall into this category. Plan4Act ...

Perceptual learning as optimized decoding: from maps to mechanisms (DecodePL)
Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2018,
We usually think that as we emerge from childhood, our brains become less plastic, making learning effortful and highly specific. Recent findings however challenge this view, suggesting that even adult perceptual learning (PL), often considered the most specific form of learning, has the potential to generalize across training conditions. This questions classical theories positing that PL changes ...

NEurocontrolled BIdirectional Artificial upper limb and hand prosthesiS (NEBIAS)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
The NEBIAS ("NEurocontrolled BIdirectional Artificial upper limb and hand prosthesiS") proposal aims at developing and clinically evaluating (in selected amputees) a neuro-controlled upper limb prosthesis intuitively controlled and felt by the amputee as the natural one. This will be possible by means of a novel neural interface able to provide a stable and very selective connection with the nervo ...

European Primate Network: Advancing 3Rs and International Standards in Biological and Biomedical Research (EUPRIM-NET II)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2015,
Biomedical research depends on the availability of living non-human primates and biological material with primate origin. The need for animal research using non-human primates is therefore recognised by all governments that support internationally competitive biomedical research aimed at addressing the world’s most pressing medical challenges. While essential for biomedical research owing to their ...
