Researchers propose a new map of mental stress that may explain why it's so hard to confront society's big crises

Proof of concept (PoC) grants are intended to help scientists whose research is backed by European Research Council (ERC) funding to explore the commercial or societal potential of their work. Recipients often go on to form a start-up, or to out license intellectual property, but the funding is flexible enough to serve other purposes. Take three enterprising academics who received PoCs, and it is striking that each of them has set up companies that are closely connected with their ongoing research work.

IBEC researchers discover the neural mechanism of autonomous learning Thanks to the so-called deep learning, a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms inspired by the brain, machines can match human performance in perception and language recognition and even outperform humans in certain tasks. But do these synthetic biologically inspired systems learn in the same way that we do? According to a new article by first author Dr. Diogo Santos-Pata from the Synthetic Perceptive, Emotive and Cognitive Systems lab (SPECS) at IBEC led by ICREA Professor Paul Verschure, in collaboration with ...
