Introduction

The project-team SISYPHE (SIgnals and Systems in PHysiology and Engineering) has stopped its activity at the end of the year. Since 2007, it has studied questions about complex dynamical systems issued from Physiology and Engineering: modeling; identification and observation from signals; real-time health monitoring or control; questions of system theory arising from the emerging domain of “quantum engineering”. The great potential of two topics and the results obtained have led to the follow-up project-teams, MYCENAE and QUANTIC .

Neuroscience & Neuroendocrinology: Regulation of the Gonadotrope axis. Controlled conservation laws for structured cell populations; Dynamical systems and neuroendocrinology; Innovative computational and theoretical tools for slow-fast dynamics.

This part of the research program has led to launch MYCENAE (Multiscale dYnamiCs in neuroENdocrine AxEs), a project-team led by Frédérique Clément, created in Jan. 2014.

Quantum engineering: controlled quantum systems. Measurement based feedback; Dissipation engineering.

This part of the research program has led to launch the team QUANTIC (QUANTum Information Circuits), led by Mazyar Mirrahimi.
