Visuospatial memory in active vision

Eye movements and visuospatial memory constantly interact to shape an efficient representation of the world. The behavioral link between eye movements and holistic scene memory has been extensively demonstrated, yet it remains elusive how visual item memory dynamically unfolds in active vision. Understanding the interplay between eye movements and memory, and identifying its neural mechanisms, […]

Using Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy to Longitudinally Characterize Brain Metabolism Changes in the Event of Repeated Subconcussive Head Trauma in Sports

The proposed project aims to use a non-invasive method of analyzing brain chemistry, known as proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy, to characterize changes in specific brain metabolites that are indicative of disease-processes occurring in the brain as a consequence of repeated subconcussive head trauma in high school football athletes. This project offers an opportunity for biomarker […]

Return to Sport Monitoring after ACL Injury in Canadian Collegiate U-Sport Athletes

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur frequently in field/court sports and often require surgical reconstruction (ACLR) and a long rehabilitation that can last 12 months or more. Return to sport (RTS) criteria are not well defined and this may be one factor contributing to the high ACL reinjury rate and sport participation attrition. A central […]

Investigation of Sulfur Reactive Species Surface Mechanisms for the Sulfurization of Graphene in Electronegative Plasma

Graphene sulfur is a composite material of growing interest due to its unique properties and its potential for multi-sector innovation. Since its discovery in 2004, graphene, a carbon atomic monolayer, has sparked a research effort to modify its properties by modifying its chemistry. In fact, graphene-sulfur is graphene onto which sulfur atoms are grafted. Its […]

The use of multi-biomarkers to assess the potential trophic competition between marine native and non-indigenous species

The potential trophic niche overlap between native and non-indigenous species of a coastal lagoon in Portugal will be studied with the use of multi trophic biomarkers (fatty acids and stable isotopes). This project will focus on two pelagic species (the native blue mussel – Mytilus edulis, and the non-indigenous pleated sea squirt – Styela plicata) […]

Advance Electrohydrodynamic Enhance Phase Change Thermal Storage

This research is motivated by a critical need for novel devices and technologies to harvest and store “lost” thermal energy energy at a time when societies around the world are facing surging energy demand. Solid-liquid phase-change materials (PCMs) are attractive solutions as they have a relatively high thermal capacity because of the latent heat of […]

Toward a Collaborative Ethics of Research for Socio-Ecological Transformations

This project investigates the ethical challenges inherent in transformation-oriented research (TR), addressing complex socio-ecological issues like climate change and social inequalities. TR, characterised by normative orientations toward societal change, presents dilemmas such as balancing rigor and relevance, avoiding false neutrality, and addressing epistemic injustice. Despite a resurgence of peer principles and proposals for TR researchers’ […]
