[PROJECT] ABSTRACT - The origins, representation and use of abstract concepts
ID: 28714
Start date: 2006-05-01, End date: 2010-04-30
The ability to understand and use language referring to abstract entities, events, and qualities (e.g., contempt, respect, kindness) is arguably a uniquely human faculty. The objective is to deepen our understanding of the acquisition and representation in the mind/brain of ab...

[PROJECT] PAUL BROCA II - The evolution of cerebral asymmetry in Homo Sapiens
ID: 29023
Start date: 2007-01-01, End date: 2010-03-31
The essence of being human is the ability to communicate with language. This project addresses the questions what is the neural correlate of the capacity for language and what was the genetic nature of the transitions from a great ape-hominid precursor to modern H sapiens' Pau...

[PROJECT] FEPRE - The formation of Europe prehistoric population dynamics and the roots of socio cultural diversity
ID: 28192
Start date: 2006-09-01, End date: 2010-08-31
Our major goal is to test with quantitative and qualitative tools the hypothesis that some key aspects of the current economic and socio cultural diversity of European nations have roots in prehistory. We shall integrate the expertise in mathematics computing archaeology palae...

[PROJECT] PROSURF - Computational toolbox for protein surface docking
ID: 28331
Start date: 2006-09-01, End date: 2009-12-31
Recent combinatorial biotechnologies have shown that the molecular recognition capability of proteins can be specifically oriented toward inorganic surfaces. The use of technologies based on such specificity would give European industry a competitive edge in several emerging f...

[PROJECT] SIBMAR - Obtaining atomically resolved structural information on individual bio molecules using electron holography
ID: 28326
Start date: 2006-10-01, End date: 2010-03-31
The objective of this project is to develop a technology to determine the structure of individual biological macromolecules at atomic resolution. This would open up new areas of science and technology since the majority of proteins would then be accessible to direct structure ...

[PROJECT] EUROLEAP - European laser electron controlled acceleration in plasmas to GeV energy range
ID: 28514
Start date: 2006-09-01, End date: 2009-08-31
Physics at the energy frontier requires huge particle accelerators. The need to reduce the size and cost of these infrastructures has triggered novel ideas. Using a plasma as a transformer of laser energy, capable of creating accelerating fields 3 to 4 orders of magnitude abov...

[PROJECT] HANDTOMOUTH - Hand to Mouth: A framework for understanding the archaeological and fossil records of human cognitive evolution
ID: 29065
Start date: 2006-10-01, End date: 2009-12-31
HANDTOMOUTH develops a framework for understanding archaeological and fossil evidence for the evolution of speech and manual dexterity. We focus on low-order parameters which can potentially be assessed in fossil and archaeological evidence. The focus will be on motor control ...
