Regional Initiatives

BRAINVOX Project

Participants : Anatole Lécuyer [contact] , Jozef Legény.

BRAINVOX is a project funded by Brittany region in the frame of the CREATE call. It is a 4-year project (2009-2013) on the topic of Brain-Computer Interfaces. The objective is to reach a "mental vocabulary", more elaborated, and richer, for BCI applications, enabling to exploit various mental activities within novel hybrid schemes.

W3D Project

Participants : Ferran Argelaguet Sanz, Anatole Lécuyer [contact] , Maud Marchal.

W3D is a project funded by Brittany region and “Images et Réseaux” competitivity cluster. It is a 3-year project (2011-2013) dedicated to the improvement of perception and navigation on 3D Web content. It involves Inria/Hybrid and LOUSTIC lab, and two SMEs in the field of multimedia and web applications : MBA Multimédia and Polymorph Studio.

CNPAO Project

Participant : Valérie Gouranton [contact] .

CNPAO ("Conservatoire Numérique du Patrimoine Archéologique de l'Ouest") is a research project partially funded by the Université Européenne de Bretagne (UEB). It involves IRISA/Hybrid and CReAAH. The main objectives are: (i) a sustainable and centralized archiving of 2D/3D data produced by the archaeological community, (ii) a free access to metadata, (iii) a secure access to data for the different actors involved in scientific projects, and (iv) the support and advice for these actors in the 3D data production and exploration through the latest digital technologies, modeling tools and virtual reality systems.

Labex S3PM

Participants : Bruno Arnaldi [contact] , Valérie Gouranton [contact] , Guillaume Claude.

S3PM is a 3-year project (2013-2016) funded by Labex CominLabs. It involves 3 academic research teams: Medicis (LTSI/Inserm), S4 and Hybrid (IRISA/Inria). S3PM aims at providing specific models, tools and software to create a collaborative virtual environment dedicated to neurosurgery processes using observations of real processes.

Labex HEMISFER

Participant : Anatole Lécuyer [contact] .

HEMISFER is a 3-year project (2013-2016) funded by Labex CominLabs. It involves 4 Inria/IRISA teams (Hybrid, Visages (lead), Panama, Athena) and 2 medical centers: the Rennes Psychiatric Hospital (CHGR) and the Reeducation Department of Rennes Hospital (CHU Pontchaillou). The goal of HEMISFER is to make full use of neurofeedback paradigm in the context of rehabilitation and psychiatric disorders. The major breakthrough will come from the use of a coupling model associating functional and metabolic information from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to Electro-encephalography (EEG) to “enhance” the neurofeedback protocol. Clinical applications concern motor, neurological and psychiatric disorders (stroke, attention-deficit disorder, treatment-resistant mood disorders, etc).
