user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Biologically Plausible Transformers - Integrating Top-Down and Bottom-Up Signals in the Primary Vision System for Computationally Efficient Deep Learning' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Deep learning (DL) has recently achieved remarkable success due to the continuous growth in model sizes. However, this growth has led to increased energy consumption. Hardware implementation of digital DL can help reduce energy usage, but the Von Neumann architecture of current DL has hindered its practical realization. In contrast, the brain exhibits energy-efficient multiscale spatiotemporal processing. Biologically plausible (BiP) frameworks have emerged as alternatives to mainstream DL. These methods use bottom-up and top-down signals, incorporating feedforward and feedback mechanisms, and local objectives instead of global error. Recently, I demonstrated that a BiP opto-analog hardware can achieve competitive performance compared to digital DL for feedforward networks. However, transformers, the backbone of current DL, are challenging to implement due to the input-dependent quadratic complexity in the transformer's attention. This project leverages the multiscale dynamics in the primary vision system to explore BiP architectures for transformers.The project is hosted at the University of Tübingen under Matthias Bethge and Thomas Euler, who have a long-standing effort in the system identification of mouse retina via DL. The project has three objectives. First, I will extract top-down information from neural recordings of ganglion cells in the mouse retina, focusing on unique spatiotemporal features that maximally activate specific cell types. Next, I will combine top-down signals with bottom-up models of the retina using recurrent architectures with linear complexity and compare their performance in classification tasks to a vision transformer for the retina. Lastly, I propose a BiP transformer with local weight updates. I will examine the robustness of models under

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'Synaptic vesicle acidification and refilling dynamics' to be submitted under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Abstract**

In newly endocytosed synaptic vesicles, a proton electrochemical gradient is produced by the vacuolar-type H+-ATPase in order to power transport processes across the membrane. The mechanisms responsible for vesicle refilling have been largely investigated on isolated synaptic vesicles. Biochemical investigation indicates that the preference of vesicle filling for each component of the electrochemical gradient, namely the membrane potential and the proton gradient, depends on the specific transport system for classical neurotransmitters. But, in the process of vesicular refilling, not only the pH gradient is of uttermost importance, also a chloride gradient plays a key role. For instance, chloride allows isolated synaptic vesicles to acidify by collapsing the membrane potential. In addition, it influences vesicular glutamate transport velocity and final content. The work on isolated vesicles has led to a solid concept of how vesicles are filled with neurotransmitters. Yet, the dynamics of vesicle acidification and refilling in neurotransmitter in intact preparations (i.e. neurons) is still largely unknown. Because vesicular transmitter content is now recognized to influence synaptic transmission, vesicular acidification and refilling dynamics need to be elucidated in physiological conditions. Using imaging techniques and new fluorescent probes, changes in proton and chloride gradient will be monitored simultaneously to study vesicular refilling dynamics in cultured hippocampal neurons, during spontaneous or frequency-dependent activity. I will test to which extent proton and chloride ions affect vesicular refilling dynamics and whether glutamatergic and GABAergic vesicles shared some common features or if vesicles possess some unique properties by virtue of the presence

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Boosting the efficiency of current agricultural atomisers by using ultrasonics emitters' (ATOMIX).

assistant: **Concept**

Founded in 1950, FIENI GIOVANNI is an Italian company specialised in producing in-house fan units, gearboxes, clutches and other components for agricultural sprayers and fans. Our agricultural spray production amounts for 65% of our annual turnover, covering the whole process: studies, projects and controls. Currently, 45% of the sprayed pesticides still fall onto non-target areas, having important consequences to both the economy of the agricultural farmer and the environment. Our aim is to reduce the main costs that our final-end users have to deal with when spraying their crops: fuel, pesticides and water. Our innovative model Atomix, is a mixed flow atomizer (axi-radial) combining the characteristics of the two currently on the market, axial and centrifugal, which being calibrated and adapted to work within any type of crop, will improve the performance of current agricultural sprayers. Its technical characteristics will be optimised with a revolutionary aerodynamic design to improve the efficiency, and the incorporation of ultrasonics emitter to produce smaller water droplets that will be lifted up to higher targets. The main advantages of this new atomiser are: 1) High drop-on-target efficiency (75%): Minimising drift and off-target exposure, it will only be needed to do one passage when spraying, allowing for pesticides savings (25-50%) and 50% reduction in operational time and fuel. 2) 60% reduced power consumption: Our new series will spend 30-70 HP, depending on the requirements. 3) 90% reduced noise: low acoustic emission (i.e. -1dB).When getting Atomix into the market we will be able to increase our profit to 3.2M€ by 2023, because we will provide farmers with a MUCH MORE effective spraying technology to deliver pesticides onto the target areas, with fuel sa

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Breaking Barriers: Peripheral Immune Mechanisms in Early Parkinson's Disease', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Impact**

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) aggregation. Despite being the fastest-growing neurodegenerative condition in terms of patients affected, there are currently no disease-modifying treatments and diagnosis typically occurs after significant neurodegeneration has already taken place. Intervening in the prodromal phase remains the critical challenge, and gaining a deeper understanding of the underlying pathophysiology is essential. Compelling evidence suggests that α-Syn might aggregate early in the enteric nervous system, spreading to the brain via the vagus nerve and triggering immune cell migration into the brain, where they contribute to disease progression. This project aims to address three key questions: 1) How are peripheral immune cells recruited to the brain in early α-Syn pathology? 2) How do peripheral immune cells interact with brain-resident cells to modulate the spread of α-Syn and neurodegeneration? 3) How do immune profile changes in the blood of high-risk prodromal PD patients relate to disease progression? To answer these questions, I will investigate the entry of peripheral immune cells to the brain using cutting-edge proximity and enzymatic labelling strategies; determine the immune interactome underlying α-Syn pathology and spread by combining α-Syn aggregation assays with in-situ spatial sequencing; and characterize circulating immune cells in prodromal PD patients by employing a humanized engraftment model to link peripheral immune phenotypes to disease progression in patients. By integrating these innovative techniques, this research aims to uncover how peripheral immune cells contribute to the onset and progression of PD, potentially identifying new biomarkers and therap

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'A ground-breaking Expressive Text-To-Speech platform to create emotionally resonant virtual voices'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Traditional voice production process by voice actors in a studio environment is expensive, time consuming and difficult to adapt to multiple languages. Text to speech (TTS) solutions available in the market are trying to overcome the bottlenecks in the traditional voice production pipeline, but fail to deliver the same level of emotion and prosody of human voices. To overcome these problems, Voiseed designed a ground-breaking Expressive TTS platform, driven by proprietary deep learning algorithms, to create virtual human-like voices, emotionally resonant, through a cost-efficient and time-saving process. Voiseed will offer Voice as a Service so that entertainment, e-learning and advertising companies will be enabled to generate and dub virtual voices into any target language, keeping the required prosody. During the project, Voiseed aims to develop a high quality unique expressive speech data set to release on the market a platform with more than 32 emotions in 16 languages.

user: Compose the 'Concept and Approach' section for a Horizon Europe proposal on 'Advanced High Pressure and Cost-Effective PEM Water Electrolysis Technology'.

assistant: **Concept**

Direct production of highly pressurised hydrogen from electrolytic water splitting can allow saving relevant amounts of energy compared to down-stream gas compression. The aim of this project is to develop a novel polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyser able to produce hydrogen at very high pressure (200 bar) thus reducing the post-compression energy consumption. Another goal is to develop a cost-effective technology allowing to achieve large-scale application of PEM electrolysers. A significant reduction of capital costs is achieved by critical raw materials minimisation, developing cheap coated bipolar plates  and operating  the electrolyser at a high production rate while assuring high efficiency (about 80% vs. HHV) and safe operation. ADVANCEPEM aims at developing a set of breakthrough solutions at materials, stack and system levels to increase hydrogen pressure to 200 bar and current density to 5 A cm-2 for the base load, while keeping the nominal energy consumption <50 kWh/kg H2. Reinforced Aquivion® polymer membranes with enhanced conductivity, high glass transition temperature and increased crystallinity, able to withstand high differential pressures, are developed for this application. The approach is to operate the innovative membrane at high temperature 90-120 °C under high pressure to allow increasing energy efficiency. To mitigate hydrogen permeation to the anode and related safety issues, efficient recombination catalysts are integrated both in the membrane and anode structure. The new technology is validated by demonstrating a high-pressure electrolyser of 50 kW nominal capacity with a production rate of about 24 kg H2/day in an industrial environment. The project will deliver a techno-economic analysis to assess reduction of the electrolyser CAPE

user: Draft an executive summary for the EU project 'IMPLEMENTATION OF A SUSTAINABLE AND COMPETITIVE SYSTEM TO SIMULTANEOUSLY PRODUCE ASTAXANTHIN AND OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS IN MICROALGAE FOR ACQUACULTURE AND HUMAN NUTRITION' (ASTAOMEGA) targeting Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

This project aims at developing an innovative and commercially competitive production platform for high value products as Astaxanthin and Omega-3, to be used for human nutrition or aquaculture. Astaxanthin is a pigment primary produced by microalgae: this carotenoid has a strong antioxidant power and it is used in different fields as healthcare, food/feed supplementation and as pigmenting agent in aquaculture. However, cultivation of the main microalgae species producing Astaxanthin is costly due to low biomass productivity or low Astaxanthin content, causing an extremely high price of this molecule on the market. Marine microalgae are also the primary producers of Omega-3, very long chain fatty acids, essential components of high quality diets for humans, being related to cardiovascular wellness, and proper visual and cognitive development. However, due to the high cost of microalgae cultivation, the market of Omega-3 is mostly based on fish or krill oils, with high costs and environment impacts associated. New sources of Astaxanthin and Omega-3 must thus be implemented: based on the results obtained in ERC-Stg-SOLENALGAE, an innovative, low cost and high productive strategy can be proposed for simultaneous Astaxanthin and Omega-3 production in the robust and fast growing marine microalgae species Nannochloropsis gaditana. The main objectives of the ASTAOMEGA project will be:1.To validate to a demonstration stage the ASTAOMEGA system2.The assessment of the market size and market requirements, through extensive market analysis3.The identification of the best suitable commercial route to be undertaken to take the ASTAOMEGA system to the market, as inception of a spin-off company and/or the licensing agreements on the IPR exploitation with the interested end-users (see LO
