user: Describe how 'When and how do expectations affect conscious perception?' will create measurable scientific, societal and economic impact aligned with Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Impact**

A  key property of the brain is to anticipate and predict future events. Following the early insights of  von Helmoltz more than a hundred years ago, there is now abundant research showing that expectations/predictions play a large role in every aspect of cognitive functioning, from perception to action.  However, the role of expectations in determining conscious content is poorly understood.  The objective of the present project is to establish the scope of influence of expectations on conscious perception: .Do all expectations affect conscious perception? Or only a subset? What, if any, are the necessary neural accompaniments to effective expectations?To answer these questions,  we will employ binocular rivalry, fMRI and MEG to determine the functional and neural boundaries of the influence of expectations on conscious perception.Functionally, we will test whether expectation-inducing stimuli have to be consciously perceived, attended, or accompanied by low-level retinal changes, in order to influence subsequent conscious perception.At a neural level, we will explore the neural changes that accompany expectation-based influences on conscious perception, using both bottom-up (data driven) and top-down (theory-driven) approaches.  For the latter,  we will explore relations between effective expectations and  recurrent processing, causal density, and 'global broadcasting' of neural signals. Our results will integrate two rapidly advancing areas of the cognitive and brain sciences: predictive coding, and consciousness science, shedding important new light on each.

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Quantum devices for advanced nano-electronic technology' (QUADRANT).

assistant: **Innovation**

The objective of the QUADRANT project is the development of a technology for the implementation of logic circuits based on a Quantum Cellular Automata (QCA) architecture. A co-ordinated theoretical and experimental effort will be undertaken for the design and fabrication of QCA cells characterised by two possible polarisation states. Coupling between such cells and propagation of the polarisation along chains of cells will also be investigated, with the aim of demonstrating their functionality as building blocks for logic circuits.The cellular automata concept is very promising for possible circuit applications of quantum devices, because it overcomes some of their intrinsic problems, such as the very limited available fan-out and the inability of efficiently driving interconnect lines. Other problems do, however, exist, such as that of achieving a bistable behaviour with a number of electrons per cell larger than two or of reliably interfacing the cellular automata system with the outer world and, in particular, with traditional electronics without perturbing its operation. We plan to address these issues through the development of improved cell designs and the realisation of probes capable of detecting the polarisation state of a cell without significantly affecting it.The relative advantages of different semiconductor material systems will be explored, pushing the total dimensions of each cell down to a few tens of nanometers in order to raise the operating temperature and decrease the sensitivity to external interferences, issues of paramount importance for any future industrial application. Thus, during the first phase of the project, one of the main objectives will consist in the development of an improved technology for the fabrication of quantum dots with the sm

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Personalised Medicine for Intervertebral Disc Regeneration- Integrating Profiling, Predictive Modelling and Gene Activated Biomaterials' (INTEGRATE).

assistant: **Innovation**

Lower back pain is a global epidemiological and socioeconomic problem. Biomaterial and cell-based therapies have been pursued for the treatment of degenerated intervertebral disc (IVD), with a number of clinical trials underway. However, the degenerated intervertebral disc has a distinct environment (e.g. altered oxygen, glucose, acidity, inflammatory cytokine levels) that is unique to an individual (i.e. patient-specific) and will ultimately determine the likelihood and rate at which regeneration can occur. A “one size fits all” approach will lead to the failure to demonstrate efficacy of advanced therapies, as they are not being designed or personalised for individual patients. This proposal envisions a future whereby advanced gene activated cell therapies are personalised (targeting regeneration or modulating inflammation) to treat back pain based on knowing the individuals unique disc microenvironment. This will be achieved through profiling of individual patient disc microenvironmental factors, with in vitro screening and in silico modelling to design cell therapies and predict regeneration outcomes (Aim 1) combined with the development of tailored functionalised gene activated biomaterials (Aim 2), to enhance matrix formation and modulate the inflammatory processes (Aim 3). Gene-based therapy offers several advantages over direct delivery of proteins or small molecules, among them the possibility of sustained efficacy and endogenous synthesis of growth factors or suppression of inflammatory factors and pathways. The platform technology (personalised gene activated biomaterials to regulate regeneration and inflammation) and knowledge (tailoring cell therapies to suit patient-specific microenvironments) generated through this research are beyond the current state-of

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Decentralised architectures for optimised operations via virtualised processes and manufacturing ecosystem collaboration' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

Industry 4.0 is the next developmental stage in the organisation of the manufacturing value chain. ICT-based systems will play a major role, mainly by creating a virtual copy of the physical world and facilitating decentralised structures through Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Over the IoT, CPS cooperate with each other and humans in real-time. Via the Internet-of-Services, internal and cross-organisational services are utilised by participants of the value chain. DISRUPT aims to spearhead the transition to the next-generation manufacturing by facilitating the vision of a ""Smart Factory"". The new era of manufacturing asks for flexible factories that can be quickly reprogrammed to provide faster time-to-market responding to global consumer demand, address mass-customisation needs and bring life to innovative products. The traditional automation pyramid seems unable to accommodate this transformation. Our concept is to DISRUPT that pyramid by utilising the capabilities offered by modern ICT to facilitate (i) in-depth (self-)monitoring of machines and processes, (ii) decision support and decentralised (self-)adjustment of production, (iii) effective collaboration of the different IoT-connected machines with tools, services and actors (iv) seamless communication of information and decisions from and to the plant floor and (v) efficient interaction with value chain partners. Within DISRUPT, each element of production is controlled via the IoT by its virtual counterpart. The data collected is analysed to detect complex events that trigger automated actions. DISRUPT offers a set of decision support tools based on three core modules (modelling, simulation and optimisation) and a secure and flexible ""plug-n-play"" platform that will allow engineers from different disciplines t

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Sixth Framework proposal for the project 'Dynamic studies of the wound-triggered inflammatory response and associated fibrosis and scarring'.

assistant: **Objectives**

Wound repair is an important, highly-ordered process that aims for a rapid closure of the wound and regeneration of injured tissue. The wound-triggered inflammatory response, specifically invading neutrophils and macrophages, has long been considered essen tial for repair. Recently however, perfect scar-less healing has been observed in settings with limited or no inflammatory response. We therefore hypothesize that macrophages contribute to the negative side-effects of tissue repair, such as fibrosis and sc arring, and propose the following objectives to address this important biomedical question. Mice transgenic for GFP-tagged macrophages will be used to establish explant eye wound models in which we will dynamically image the migration of macrophages toward s a mammalian wound site, as little is currently known about the precise timing of recruitment and the underlying mechanisms of cell movement. Three-dimensional time-lapse movies will be generated, and we will quantify the number of macrophages recruited t o and dispersed from the wound, the speed and directionality of their migratory route, and the furthest distance from which they are drawn towards the wound. The second objective is to analyse the local effects of activated macrophages on wound fibroblasts with co-culture experiments. Physical interactions, timing and extent of macrophage actions, and fibroblast gene expression changes will be observed. Finally, the functional role of ¿inflammation-dependent genes¿ will be studied by anti-sense oligonucleot ide knockdown in vitro and at the wound site in vivo. These final experiments will begin to address whether knockdown of inflammation/fibrosis-associated genes has the potential to modulate the fibroblast response and quality of wound repair.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Mapping existing research and identifying knowledge gaps concerning the situation of older women in europe (MERI)' (MERI) targeting Fifth Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

Recent approaches aimed at compiling information on the living conditions of older women led to the conclusion that they are neglected as an own target group in research, although almost every fifth person in Europe is a woman aged 50 or more. In addition, there is clear evidence in the work of NGOs that certain groups of older women are disadvantaged in different social aspects, e.g. as regards the quality of medical treatment or isolation in old age. An important barrier to the improvement of their living conditions is a lack of interest representation and lobbying for older women. Main objectives of the project are to increase the knowledge about the living conditions and problems of older women, to improve the empirical basis for work of scientists, NGOs and for government tasks at social policy level aimed at older women, to stimulate and set the agenda for future research on women and ageing, as well as to raise public awareness of their situation.

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Microelectromechanical Systems from Nanocrystalline Diamond' (DIAMEMS) targeting Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

This project aims to develop high frequency, high quality factor micro and nano – electromechanical systems (MEMS) from nanocrystalline diamond (NCD). NCD offers superior performance to silicon for MEMS due to its extreme Young’s modulus, but it is also compatible with silicon CMOS technologies, offering a key advantage over other potential MEMS materials. High performance NCD growth and planarization will be optimised for MEMS applications. The realisation of continuous, smooth (<1nm rms over 1µm), pin hole free NCD over large areas exhibiting bulk diamond properties will enable a multitude of applications at drastically reduced cost to currently available bulk diamond technologies. The resulting material will have applications outside the MEMS field such as in tribology, optical coatings, electrochemical electrodes (when doped with boron), heat spreading etc. The development of clean room processing technologies of NCD will allow the fabrication of new devices and result in new ideas exploiting this novel material.""

user: Draft an impact statement for 'THREATS to biodiversity conservation: Global impacts of renewable energies and the interaction with other human activities', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Renewable energy developments are essential to fighting climate change but we do not yet fully understand their global spatial patterns and impacts on biodiversity conservation. Moreover, they could interact with other human pressures that are already threatening wildlife species. Understanding these interactions, the underlying factor triggering these threats, and their effects on protected areas, especially in areas where more threats overlap, would help us better prioritize and optimize efforts to break free from fossil fuels while also halting the loss of biodiversity. Therefore, this project aims to improve our current knowledge of the threats that renewable energy developments represent to biodiversity and to explore and advance our understanding of the interactions with other human-induced threats to biodiversity. This project will map for the first time, the likelihood of impact of all renewable energy developments using the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of threatened species for amphibians, birds, and mammals. Together with other threat maps (agriculture, afforestation, overhunting, invasive species, pollution, and climate change), obtained from peer-reviewed public sources, this project will identify and assess the interactions between threats through a co-occurrence matrix, and identify areas where more threats overlap. Finally, it will evaluate the socio-economic factors that are triggering all these threats and their effects on protected areas in two contrasting regions, Europe and South America. This project will promote a link between conservation and energy developments, providing relevant information to nature policies, which is both timely and urgent, as human impacts have become catastrophic on biodiversity. It will also have

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'Harmonic Brushless Field Excitation Methods for Electrical Machines' (HARMFIX) targeting Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Abstract**

This project is focused on the design and development of new rotor field excitation methods to achieve brushless operation for wound-field electrical machines (EMs). The proposed method will provide an opportunity to reduce the reliance of EMs on rare-earth materials of which EU is lacking its resources and eliminate the usage of brushes for their rotor field excitation while improving the reliability and cost-efficiency of the machine systems. Through this method, a new armature winding configuration will be developed to generate not only the fundamental magnetomotive force (MMF) but also a suitable harmonic MMF component in the airgap of the EMs, while powered from a single customary current-controlled voltage source inverter (VSI). The rotor of these machines will be altered to house both harmonic and field windings. The harmonic MMF component will be employed to induce a harmonic current in the harmonic winding of the rotor, which will be rectified to excite the rotor field winding to achieve brushless operation and develop torque. A new topology optimization methodology will be developed to optimize the windings and minimize copper consumption. The EMs employing HARMFIX do not require rare-earth materials, costly auxiliary electromechanical excitation systems or custom-made power electronics circuitry, or control strategies for their brushless operation. Therefore, this method is a truly viable and sustainable alternative for commercial products which are currently employing rare-earth materials, brushless exciters or brushes, and slip rings.
