Mathematical and computational foundations for modeling cerebral fluid flow.

Your brain has its own waterscape: whether you are reading or sleeping, fluid flows through the brain tissue and clears waste in the process. These physiological processes are crucial for the well-being of the brain. In spite of their importance we understand them but little. Mathematics and nume...

Breaking the paradigm: A new approach to understanding and controlling combustion instabilities

It is well known that current and future low-emission combustion concepts for gas turbines are prone to thermoacoustic instabilities. These give rise to large pressure fluctuations that can drastically reduce the operable range and threaten the structural integrity of stationary gas turbines and ...

Perception of voices that do not exist: Tracking the temporal signatures of auditory hallucinations

One of the most perplexing phenomena of the human mind is the conviction of perceiving a "voice" in the absence of an external auditory source. This is called an auditory hallucination (AH), and is the most characteristic symptom of the most severe mental disorder, schizophrenia. Understanding th...

The Economics and Politics of Conservation

The UN’s approach to climate policy is to focus on national emission caps for greenhouse gases. Most of the economic theory on environmental agreements is also studying such a demand-side approach, even though it is well known that such an approach has several flaws, including carbon leakage and ...

The role of 5HT3a inhibitory interneurons in sensory processing

How do cortical circuits process sensory stimuli that leads to perception? Sensory input is encoded by complex interactions between principal excitatory neurons and a diverse population of inhibitory cells. Distinct inhibitory neurons control different subcellular domains of target principal neur...

Effects of Medication Use in Pregnancy on Infant Neurodevelopment

Currently, thousands of pregnant women in the EU and worldwide are being increasingly prescribed medications for which we do not have sufficient information on fetal safety.
