On the trail of the magnetic sense: Henrik Mouritsen (University of Oldenburg) and his British colleague Peter Hore(University of Oxford) have been conducting research since 2019 as part of the ERC Synergy Grant QuantumBirds. The project aims to understand how the magnetic sense in migratory birds works.
Pioneer projects on signal molecules, artificial intelligence and philosophy of science: three researchers at Leibniz University Hannover (LUH) have received internationally coveted ERC Starting Grants in the 2021 round of calls.
Research on complex quantum systems and new chemical insights into terpenes: Two researchers of Leibniz University Hannover (LUH) have each been awardedone of the internationally coveted ERC Consolidator Grants.
Heart failure is one of the most common causes of death worldwide. The disease, known in medicine as cardiac insufficiency, affects about four million people in Germany.
About 15 million people in Germany suffer from hearing disorders. Among the elderly, hearing loss is the most frequently impaired sensory perception. But even children and newborns can suffer from hearing loss, such as inner ear deafness.
What are the neural computations underlying social behaviour in groups? How are multi-modal cues integrated to control and switch between courtship and aggression? How does sensory processing adapt in big crowds to target the behaviourof individual members of the group?
