Researchers' Night
September 27, 2019 (17:00-24:00)
Filoxenia Conference Center, Nicosia
Under the joint booth entitled “What is the relation of the brain with the Universe?”, AAISCS and the Astrophysics and High Performance Computing (AHPC) research group of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of European University Cyprus, demonstrated to the general public how the study of two seemingly unrelated applied sciences, i.e. astrophysics and neuroscience, can be brought together under the interdisciplinary scientific area of network science.
The European Researchers’ Night is a creative night-time event dedicated to science and research, through experiments, games, competitions and music. It is organised by the Research and Innovation Foundation (RIF) in collaboration with academic and research institutions as well as other organisations in Cyprus. The event is an initiative of the European Commission and takes place simultaneously in almost all European countries. Around 10,000 people attended the event and had the chance to get acquainted with various scientific activities.
Audiences of different ages had the opportunity to meet up with Cypriot researchers and see their work, in a festive, friendly atmosphere. In each stand researchers presented their work and informed the public about the role and importance of research in the modern world as well as the practical applications of their research results in everyday life. At the same time, participants had the opportunity to engage in hands-on experiments and become researchers for one night.
Specifically, AAISCS presented the following activities during the event: (1) To learn a variety of neuroscience applications related to the recognition of special needs and talents from elementary to deep adulthood, to understand the neuronal mechanisms related to smoking addiction and to learn about recent sleep studies that have given a new interpretation of how brain processes create the image of ourselves. (2) Exploit network science to visualize the distribution of galaxies in the observable universe, to seek relations between activities of brain areas under various stimuli and to find out their best matching persons in a few minutes! In particular, the participants could see through powerful visualization tools clusters of galaxies of similar galactic properties, clusters of human subjects of similar brain activity under the same stimuli and to see him/herself in a cluster of other known persons who matches them best. (3) A popular interactive game on sleep related questions.
