Bodies express emotions and actions in sociocultural context (EMOBODIES)

Start date: Jul 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

"Emotions are adaptive actions that take place in the real world and involve the whole body. In contrast with an overwhelming number of studies on facial expressions, very little research has been devoted to how emotions are expressed by the whole body and its actions in the real world. This proposal combines neuropsychology and emotion research with normal and unique patient populations. It will ...

The Human Brain Project (HBP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Today, for the first time, modern ICT has brought these goals within sight. The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the ...

Cracking the columnar-level code in the visual hierarchy: Ultra high-field functional MRI, neuro-cognitive modelling and high-resolution brain-computer interfaces (COLUMNARCODECRACKING)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

"Recent developments of high-field functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have advanced the level of functional detail to sub-millimetre spatial resolution. This is of critical importance because in the mammalian cortex, small functional cortical patches appear to constitute fundamental units of brain function. These functional units are often organized as ""cortical columns"" that contain c ...

Rebalancing the brain: Guiding brain recovery after stroke (BRAINBALANCE)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Damage to parietal cortex after stroke causes patients to become unaware of large parts of their surroundings and body parts. This so-called spatial neglect is hypothesised to be brought about by a stroke-induced imbalance between the left and right hemisphere. Some patients experience a partial recovery of lost abilities, but the factors that drive this rebalancing are unknown. The research p ...

The interplay between the appetitive dopaminergic and the aversive serotonergic system in motivational control of behavior (Pharmaco-fMRI)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

The impact of reward and punishment on behavior is modulated by the neurotransmitters (chemicals that influence signal transfer between neurons) dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT). This project tests a new model of the interplay between DA and 5-HT in motivational control of behavior, by studying the effects of DA and 5-HT increasing drugs on motivational learning and brain activation. Blood oxyge ...

Methods in Neuroimaging (NeuroPhysics)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

Body and Brain imaging and its methodological development is a fast growing technique, both quantitatively as well as qualitatively. A long term prospective is that the field needs multidisciplinary expertise of internationally oriented young researchers with a profile of a Neuroimaging scientist, as described in one of the many open job positions (Box 1). The Marie Curie Initial Training Network ...

Deployment of Brain-Computer Interfaces for the Detection of Consciousness in Non-Responsive Patients (DECODER)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

The deployment of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) for non-responsive patients will provide access to modern information and communication technology such as internet, personal computer or home appliances when only a single response of a person is available. In this extreme case, no current assistive technology can help the patient interact with the environment. This situation poses serious ethical ...
