Towards Very Large Scale Human-Robot Synergy (TRaVERSE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2016,
Hazardous work environment for humans, growing necessity for an increase in the worldwide agricultural production, and a rapid rise in the public healthcare expenditures due to aging population are among some of the most predominant societal issues where robotics and automation are becoming progressively vital. Distributed multi-robot teams consisting of a large number of robots operating in close ...

The effects of spatial attention on stimulus encoding in rat barrel cortex and on relationships between barrel cortex and locus coeruleus norepinephrine neuron spiking (WhiskerAttention)
Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2015,
Norepinephrine (NE) medications affect attention and the ability to ignore distracting stimuli. Current theories focus on prefrontal cortex (PFC) as the site of NE-induced modulation. Sensory cortex neurons are also affected by NE. We propose testing the hypothesis that NE may actually affect attention via direct action in sensory cortex. To test this hypothesis, we will develop a rat spatial atte ...
