the neural and cognitive mechanisms of adaptive and maladaptive emotionbehaviour interactions in naturalistic tasks

deciding what to do when for how long selforganizing ones behaviour is an important feature of daily life emotions arise providing shortcuts for the computational complexities yet we still know relatively little about the underlying cognitive and neural mechanisms emobb will establish the computational cognitive and neural underpinnings of the rich interplay between emotions and selforganized behaviour in naturalistic environments overcoming three key challenges first previous work has almost exclusively relied on tasks structured into experimenter determined trials thus how people selforganized behaviour could not be measured to overcome this emobb will combine novel naturalistic tasks in which people have freedom what to do when for how long with subjective and objective measures of emotions this will be made possible through a computational modelling approach that allows dissecting and quantifying even complex behaviouremotion interactions second many previous decisionmaking tasks have limited relevance for reallife cognition and individual differences emobb will address this by relating the computational task measures to individual differences in reallife behaviours and emotional traits this effort will culminate in the creation of a video game platform providing a large population benchmark third brain imaging has primarily relied on correlations often focusing on individual regions emobb will go beyond this testing the causal role of brain networks and their shifting compositions to cognitive state changes combining functional magnetic resonance brain imaging and noninvasive ultrasound brain stimulation while the challenges are important by themselves combining all aspects in one project will allow a breakthrough in our understanding across all levels from neural underpinning to individual differences specifically it will deliver a model of naturalistic emotionbehaviour interplay and its mediating brain mechanisms
rapid nanofluidics valves for singlemolecule imaging

a major challenge in biomolecular research is the investigation of biomolecular interaction at singlemolecule level biomolecules possess heterogeneities of high physiological relevance that can only be unravelled with singlemolecule tools all current singlemolecule imaging methods however require chemical modifications such as fluorescent labelling or immobilization onto a surface which might alter the biomolecules natural behaviourrecently i have developed a groundbreaking optical microscopy method nanofluidic scattering microscopy nsm whose unprecedented resolution enabled me to bypass those limitations and to image individual small proteins in free motion without any label despite these attractive attributes in its current form nsm does not allow for quantitative study of interaction kinetics between individual molecules due to the inherently fast brownian motion the time that a molecule spends on average in the optically probed volume a nanofluidic channel is substantially shorter than the time required to record a statistically relevant number of association and dissociation eventsin this project we will develop an essential nanoscopic component a rapid nanofluidic valve that will enable to confine and release interacting biomolecules to and from the nanofluidic volume the nanofluidic valves will be based on the principles of thermoresponsive polymer hydrogel in combination with nanoplasmonic heating the integration of the nanofluidic valves with nsm will enable to track evolution of individual biomolecules at single molecule level without the need of chemical modifications and in conditions that mimic an invivo statethe project will deliver a unique bioanalytical tool that will make key contributions to the fundamental understanding of biomolecular interactions which is needed in basic research as well as in the pharmaceutical industry

machine learning methods for the reconstruction of dual tracer pet images

positron emission tomography pet is a medical imaging technique that displays in vivo brainwide metabolic processes prior to pet image acquisition a tracer labelled with a positron emitting isotope is injected to the patient this socalled radiotracer distributes over the body and accumulates in eg inflammatory tissue to date the acquisiton of a pet image is limited to one tracer thereby only displaying one metabolic process in the brain however the acquisition of two separate pet images acquired with different tracer simultaneously would give novel and unique insights in the communication between eg neurotransmitter systems these insights could be used for the development of new drugs for eg alzheimer patients and would increase the understanding of the healthy and diseased brainthe acquisition of dual tracer pet images can be achieved by combining two radiotracers with different properties the first standard radiotracer emits two photons that are recorded by the pet system while the second nonstandard tracer emits two photons and an additional gamma ray by identifying the additional gamma ray the photon detections of the two tracers can be separated and two pet images can be reconstructed dual tracer pet image reconstruction yields challenges due to undesirable effect of photon detection in this project a machine learning algorithm will be trained to detect and correct for these effects moreover the image acquired with the nonstandard tracer yields low image quality a convolutional neural network will be trained to denoise this pet image in the proposed project a reconstruction algorithm for dual tracer pet based on machine learning techniques and resulting in two separate pet images with high image quality will be developed and implemented the proposed project will demonstrate if dual tracer pet imaging has future potential and will help to understand the highly interactive neuronal communication in the brain

locating literature lived religion and lives in the himalayas the van manen collection

this project offers an ambitious study of an important yet mostly forgotten collection of himalayan texts and artifacts collected between 1920 and 1940 it will for the first time provide a view of the van manen collection through a study of its rare manuscripts the material objects undocumented marginal writings and the unique tibetan language autobiographies by ordinary himalayan people commissioned by van manen this collection held in the leiden university library contains a large number of tibetan and himalayan texts collected by johan van manen who lived in india after his death in 1943 a large part of his personal collection became housed at the university totaling more than 1500 mostly tibetan texts he also collected himalayan artifacts now stored separately from the texts in museum volkenkunde in leiden the texts and artifacts reflect the collectors interest in the lived religion and the lives of himalayan people the projects goal is the examination of the van manen collection as a whole using historical ethnographic and philological methods and by employing digital humanities methods through which the origins of the texts and artifacts can be traced mapped and be made available linking them to other editions in online databases as well as to local tibetan archives the main aim is to get an understanding of the proliferation usage and presence of religious and ritual literature and artifacts in the greater darjeeling area in the first half of the 20th century and by extension their religious milieus 1 many of the texts are unica in tibetan literature and as they are mostly unstudied they merit a thorough examination 2 the broader question is how to read and engage with a multi media collection curated by one single collector and how to understand the collection formation process 3 the project results will contribute to the analysis of multimedia collections of nonwestern literature and material culture 4
manipulating nonlinear sound waves using nonhermiticity and active control nonlinear and active sound absorption

audible sound is an inevitable physical phenomenon which can be the best or the worst of all things in its best form is essential to human communication and entertainment in its worst form it appears as a social and health threat through noise in urban and domestic environments arising from sources such as vehicles ventilation systems construction sites and aircraft engines both european and international organisations identify noise as a major health issue of modern society and insist on regulating its levels some modern noise reduction solutions using artificial periodic composites and benefiting from the 3d printing techniques do exist however an important problem regarding sound absorption still remains unsolved and unexploredhigh amplitude nonlinear waves cannot be absorbed using the existing conventional techniques and devices these high amplitude nonlinear waves in fact pose an even larger problem than noise when they appear in applications such as power plants or gas transport systems they can cause significant environmental reliability and safety problems stemming from vibration and structural fatiguein an original perspective the nasa project will utilise recent results from nonhermitian physics to tame and absorb high amplitude nonlinear sound waves the project strives to uncover the main sources of nonlinearity in acoustic isolation solutions and to use active nonreciprocal scatterers in unison with modern concepts such as topological physics proposing an unconventional way to efficiently absorb nonlinear acoustic waves nonlinearity which is known to lead into chaos and randomness when in conjunction with nonhermiticity raises fundamental questions and their synergy may revolutionise our ability to control waves within nasa i aim develop novel design principles and tools which will foster the development of efficient adoptable and reliable noise reduction technologies particularly in heavy industry and aviation
