user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Role of individual retinal ganglion cell types in visual computation and behaviors'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The nervous system contains thousands of morphologically and physiologically different neuronal cell types, organized in distinct circuits. Information processed by the retina is streamed into more than 10 retino-recipient brain regions through approximately 20 distinct visual channels, originating in retinal ganglion cell types. One key feature of visual processing is significant convergence and divergence of retinal ganglion cell type inputs to different brain regions. The objective of this proposal is to understand the relevance of this convergence and divergence of visual pathways. Recently, we have identified several Cre transgenic mouse lines in which labeled ganglion cells show a mosaic-like distribution pattern of ganglion cell bodies in the retina and restricted axonal projections in the retino-recipient layers of the lateral geniculate nucleus, superior colliculus, and accessory optic system. Utilizing these new cell-type-labeled mouse lines, we will first characterize the morphological and physiological properties of Cre-expressing cell types. Next, we will silence or activate the synaptic release of individual cell types at a selective terminal region, such as the visual cortex and superior colliculus, using pharmacogenetic and optogenetic tools, and test their effects on light responses by in-vivo two-photon imaging. Finally, we will investigate the effects of silencing and activation of individual synaptic terminals on behaviors that it has been proposed are mediated by specific visual pathways: visual discrimination mediated by the retino-geniculate pathway; innate escape and approach behavior by the superior colliculus; and visually evoked compensatory head and eye movements by the accessory optic pathway. We aim to link, for the first time, individual p

user: Describe the novelty, innovation potential and advance beyond the state of the art for 'Closed-Loop Acoustic Stimulation during Sleep to enhance motor memory consolidation in Aging' (2014-2020).

assistant: **Innovation**

Research has consistently demonstrated that older adults have difficulties consolidating recently learned movements into robust motor memories. This impairment undoubtedly contributes to the movement deficits emerging with healthy aging and hinders rehabilitative strategies. As consolidation is known to be facilitated by sleep, these movement-related deficits partially result from age-associated degradations in sleep characteristics. Accordingly, the project CLASSy Aging (Closed-Loop Acoustic Stimulation during Sleep to enhance motor memory consolidation in Aging) aims to optimize sleep-related motor memory consolidation in healthy older adults. Specifically, during a post-learning nap, I will use forefront real-time electroencephalographic (EEG) analyses to reactivate memories via Targeted Memory Reactivation time-locked to neuroplasticity-related physiological events of interest (i.e., sleep spindles and slow oscillations). This project will use a novel and sophisticated approach designed to boost sleep-dependent consolidation and minimize previously observed aging-related deficits. I will unravel the neural correlates of the memory reactivation process using high-density EEG during post-learning sleep and the stimulation-enhanced neuroplasticity processes during task practice using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This project uses a comprehensive approach as the brain will be imaged at different phases of the memory formation (i.e., learning, consolidation and retest) making use of cutting-edge neuroimaging analyses (univariate and multivariate MRI analyses, sources localization of hdEEG signal) tailored to each of these phases. This ambitious, yet feasible, multimodal neuroimaging project will provide significant insights into motor memory processes. It

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fifth Framework proposal on 'International Conference on Multisensors Fusion and Integration for Intelligent Systems (IEEE MFI 2001) in Baden-Baden, Germany'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The International Conference on Multisensors Fusion and Integration for Intelligent Systems (IEEE MFI 2001) treats the actual relevant questions of multisensor fusion and integration technologies. The conference provides a key forum for dissemination of leading edge technologies. The overall aim is to promote scientific exchange within the European Community as well as between Europe and other parts of the world. The recent developments demonstrate that multisensor fusion is to be regarded as an important field of future research and industry application. Since the last IEEE MFI, research and development in the area of multisensor fusion have progressed, which has gone hand in hand with the introduction of a wide range of new proceedings and systems as well as with a modern product-oriented application.Nowadays, complex systems use a variety of sensors in order to obtain information about their own state and about environmental events or states. This is extremely important for giving machines the ability to handle unstructured environment, unforeseen events or inherent failures. It has turned out in the last decade that the employment of single sensors or single sensor types is not at all sufficient for coping with complex issues like these. Multisensor Fusion and Integration for Intelligent Systems face new challenges in scientific research and practical use continually since sensor technology advances quickly. The state of the art covers for example encoders, acoustic sensors, lasers, multi camera systems and range cameras. In this sense the field of sensor fusion methods and technology is to a large extend an interdisciplinary field, which needs the close co-operation between computer scientists, physicists, electrical engineers and production engineers both in resea

user: Write a project proposal abstract for 'ULTRA ACCURATE WORLD TIMING SERVICES' to be submitted under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Abstract**

The project aims at distributing ultra-accurate and traceable timing through optical fibres. The goal is to provide traceable, accurate and cost-effective timing information for the Galileo Time System and for customers requiring highly dependable distributed synchronization applications. The target customers include government authorities as European Galileo Agency (for the Galileo surface segment) and customers in Telecom, Smart-Grid, stock market (high frequency trading) and highly accurate positioning markets (conventionally dependent on satellite signals). The use of terrestrial timing distribution allows National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) in charge of Galileo Time Validation Facility to compare their clocks and steer to UTC, maximizing the traceability of Galileo System Time and enhancing its accuracy. In addition, this allows deploying a terrestrial time network for industrial applications, traceable with respect to UTC and Galileo, robust against satellite signal vulnerability problems and providing redundant time services for critical infrastructures. This is possible with the emergent White Rabbit (WR) solution which is a sub-nanosecond accurate timing technology originally born at CERN for scientific facilities. WR is an extension of the standard Ethernet based on time distribution standards. As an extension of Ethernet, it can be easily integrated with existing communication networks at negligible bandwidth cost and can distribute time and frequency signals with 100 ps accuracy over distances longer than 1000 Km. The purpose of this project is to confirm a business plan and develop in detail an appropriate strategy to penetrate the market. This includes a proper market analysis (existing markets and emergent applications), partnership strategies and concre

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Horizon 2020 proposal on 'Atmospheres across the Universe'.

assistant: **Innovation**

Which molecules are present in the atmosphere of exoplanets? What are their mass, radius and age? Do they have clouds, convection (atmospheric turbulence), fingering convection, or a circulation induced by irradiation? These questions are fundamental in exoplanetology in order to study issues such as planet formation and exoplanet habitability.Yet, the impact of fingering convection and circulation induced by irradiation remain poorly understood: - Fingering convection (triggered by gradients of mean-molecular-weight) has already been suggested to happen in stars (accumulation of heavy elements) and in brown dwarfs and exoplanets (chemical transition e.g. CO/CH4). A large-scale efficient turbulent transport of energy through the fingering instability can reduce the temperature gradient in the atmosphere and explain many observed spectral properties of brown dwarfs and exoplanets. Nonetheless, this large-scale efficiency is not yet characterized and standard approximations (Boussinesq) cannot be used to achieve this goal. - The interaction between atmospheric circulation and the fingering instability is an open question in the case of irradiated exoplanets. Fingering convection can change the location and magnitude of the hot spot induced by irradiation, whereas the hot deep atmosphere induced by irradiation can change the location of the chemical transitions that trigger the fingering instability. This project will characterize the impact of fingering convection in the atmosphere of stars, brown dwarfs, and exoplanets and its interaction with the circulation in the case of irradiated planets. By developing innovative numerical models, we will characterize the reduction of the temperature gradient of the atmosphere induced by the instability and study the impact of the c

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fifth Framework proposal on 'Structural basis of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor function (NICOTINIC RECEPTORS)'.

assistant: **Innovation**

We aim to determine the 3D structure of the prototypic neurotransmitter receptor, the nicotinic acetylcholinereceptor (Ache), at high resolution, for understanding the structural basis of its function, using advanced electron and X-ray crystallography, NMR, AFM, molecular modelling and electro physiology, combined with antibody and legend labelling. The best available image of a neurotransmitter receptor is that of the Ache at 4.6AA resolution, obtained by partner 2. Our objectives are to achieve:a. high resolution structure of closed and open Ache channels by electron microscopy;b. imaging individual Aches in action by AFM;c. X-ray structure of Ache channels;d. conformation (by NMR and X-ray crystallography) of Ache fragments;e. characterization of legend and protein binding properties;f. detailed models of Torpedo and human Aches byte combined results, rational design of subtype-specific legends and legend assessment by electro physiology. Elucidation of the structure-function relationship of Aches will be catalytic to numerous studies in synapse function and dysfunction.

user: Write the 'Expected Impact' section for the project 'Commercialisation of expanded bed biofilm reactor technology for the treatment of waste-, used- or contaminated-water and for improved protection of the aquatic environment and atmosphere.' (EBBR), addressing dissemination and exploitation.

assistant: **Impact**

ABD will aid transition to a resource efficient, circular economy via wide use of its disruptive, bioprocess intensification technology. This technology will cut business costs and help the EU exit economic crisis through job creation and exports. ABD’s first process is nitrification of used water, part of a €4.8 bn global market that we will access. We have developed a full-scale prototype package plant (TRL7) for tertiary nitrification with a UK licensee and have a second UK licensee for landfill leachate. Phase 1 funding is required to evaluate other European markets, identify additional licensees and potential end-users, and revise plans to obtain risk finance for business development. Phase 2 will develop a European network of licensees and end-users and build commercial prototypes (TRL9) for validation across Europe under different regional and climatic conditions, before exporting globally and developing new products.Our expanded bed biofilm reactor (EBBR) technology has patent protection and can be used for purification of raw or used water, fermentation or biocatalysis. Patents cover a superior biomass support material (ABDite®), and design features to maximise process efficiency, and minimise energy consumption and footprint. Use of novel, counter-current aeration and nitrogen-depleted air results in highly efficient oxygen transfer and minimal emission of greenhouse gases (methane and nitrous oxide) from used water. An independent consultant has calculated that our capex and opex is 63% and footprint 70% compared to two, market-leading, nitrification technologies.The motivation for our nitrification process is to generate income by reversing pollution of the aquatic environment and atmosphere, through oxidising ammonia in used water and minimising the emissio

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Advanced Materials as CO2 Removers:  A Computational Study of CO2 Sorption Thermodynamics and Kinetics' (AMCOS) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

The proposed work aims at developing the tools required for the intelligent choosing and tuning of nano-porous materials with respect to a specific application.  For this purpose, a combined computational theoretical and experimental study is envisaged in order to digitally reconstruct the porous matrix of selected advanced materials, mainly for applications involving sorption of carbon dioxide and methane by employing advanced Statistical Mechanics based computer simulation methods, both, in atomistic (Monte Carlo, ab initio and equilibrium and non-equilibrium Molecular Dynamics) and mesoscopic level (Kinetic Monte Carlo and Lattice Gas Cellular Automata).  The reasoning behind this strategy is that the structure of materials spans a wide range of length scales, making thus sorption and transport phenomena depend upon length and time scale.  As a consequence, the proposed computational methodology consists of many levels in order to address properly these phenomena. Moreover, a complementary approach to computer simulations is provided through direct comparison of two highly sophisticated methods for measuring motion of guest molecules inside porous materials, namely, quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) and pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG NMR), carried out by the groups of Lyon and Leipzig respectively. This type of combined studies can be perfectly utilized through the proposed work towards a fascinating insight of the relation of the material interior to the sorption and transport mechanisms of sorbates such as carbon dioxide and methane, both involved in the so-called greenhouse effect.

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Enhancing Motion Interaction through Music Performance' under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Concept**

The proposed project aims to enhance Human Motion–Computer Interaction by leveraging on a multidisciplinary approach between experimental psychology, music technology and computational modelling. Firstly, the project looks at skilled activities, in particular music performance, in order to understand fundamental cognitive and psychological aspects of control and expression in human motion. The project involves computational models of motor control and expressive variations built from music performance data collected during psychophysical studies. Secondly, the project broaches the implementation of these models in Digital Musical Instruments (DMI), thus creating a new type of digital instrument based on sensorimotor learning mechanisms. The resulting DMI is then assessed through a user study in which elements of exploration and engagement will be tested over several sessions. Therefore, the project contributes to two main uncharted research areas. Firstly it contributes to the fundamental understanding of sensorimotor learning processes by considering complex human motion, specifically motion in music performance. Secondly, it represents an original application of computational modelling by modelling expressive musical gestures and transferring these models to interactive systems.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'TREEBREEDEX: a working model network of tree improvement for competitive, multifunctional and sustainable European forestry' (TREEBREEDEX) under Sixth Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Through creation of improved varieties, forest tree breeders have largely participated to the improvement and the sustainability of cultivated forests in Europe. Over decades, they have built up huge collections of trees for most economical species and vast networks of experimental trials. As well, they have continuously developed original methodology in genetics and in related sciences to recombine, test, evaluate, analyse, select and mass-produce forest tree species. All this, together with specific facilities and equipment, represents a unique set of infrastructures based on a biological material particularly original.Unfortunately, this resource and the teams concerned are scattered all over Europe and do not reach the critical mass for efficiently conducting their activities. In addition, tree breeding R&D activities have become even more complex over years due to new environmental concerns (climatic changes, pressure from natural disaster, allergy), socio-economic pressures (multi-functionality) and development of new technologies (genomics, somatic embryogenesis). Rare are the teams who can now compete alone with these new conditions.The main aim of this proposal is therefore to create a European Virtual Tree Breeding Centre:- to foster co-operation and complementarity among teams,- to enhance the excellence level of R&D activities across Europe,- to progressively integrate tree improvement research into co-operative programmes activities,- to open infrastructures to a larger scientific community in forestry and agriculture (ornamentals, fruit trees) but more broadly in biology including pharmacology, medicine.Networking activities will include website and discussion forums, databases, exchange of expertise and methodology, common protocols, etc. It will allow su
