Reward revisted: Understanding the manifold influence of reward on human cognition Ghent University
Motivation in general, and reward processing in particular, are central topics in psychology, and research on the underlying psychological and neural processes has experienced a veritable boom in the recent past. The topic is not only interesting in its own right, but at least as much because of its modulatory effects on numerous other cognitive functions. The present proposal seeks to investigate exactly such influences. More specifically, ...
Research on a low cost, accurate indoor positioning solution KU Leuven
Positioning is not a new problem. Humanity has attempted to determine its location for centuries with tools such as sextants, clocks, maps, and more. One of the largest revolutions in this field is arguably the advent of the global positioning system (GPS), which can provide position information almost anywhere on earth. Unfortunately, GPS and similar satellite navigation systems cannot be used indoors. The signal strength is reduced ...
Photochromic biosensors and imaging for interaction sensing at low expression levels KU Leuven
The complex processes that take place within the biological cell often involve interactions between multiple molecules, and occur within a specific spatio-temporal context. Fluorescence imaging has become a solid standard for visualizing such processes within the native environment. By using fluorescent labeling strategies, it couples the cellular distribution and activity of biomolecules to a fluorescence-based signal and microscopic ...

Silicon-photonic Integrated Laser AR/VR Engine for Reduced speckle (SILVER) Ghent University
The most advanced systems for AR/VR displays use laser light sources that are projected onto glasses, relayed through waveguides, or even directly projected onto your eye. Such laser-based systems are very compact, have a good brightness, and consume little power. However, due to the strong coherence of the laser source, this might result in unwanted interference patterns, so-called speckle, in the projected image. In this project we will ...
