The cerebellar granular layer plays a central role in sensory processing and pattern separation through its distinctive feedforward architecture. Here, we present a biologically …
The striatum plays a central role in action selection and reinforcement learning, integrating cortical inputs with dopaminergic signals encoding reward prediction errors. While …
The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility—DEMO Oriented Neutron Source (IFMIF-DONES) is a facility currently being built in Granada (Spain). It is an …
This article explains the tasks carried out within the logistics and maintenance scope of the IFMIF DONES project, which have been funded by EUROfusion. It was a challenging …
Many real-world optimization problems related to physical environments have heavily constrained search spaces, which hinders the direct application of meta-heuristics and similar …
Pre-configured virtual reality (VR) simulations of the logistics and maintenance processes have proven to be useful for identifying potential design issues as well as planning …
The basal ganglia (BG), and more specifically the striatum, have long been proposed to play an essential role in action-selection based on a reinforcement learning (RL) paradigm. …
DONES is planned to operate on a continuous basis with only two beam stop periods per year for maintenance. The planned operational availability is 70 %, which calls for a …
An efficient workflow has been developed to generate virtual reality simulations of the maintenance tasks requiring remote handling in DONES (a particle accelerator facility). This …
The basal ganglia (BG) represent a critical center of the nervous system for sensorial discrimination. Although it is known that Huntington’s disease (HD) affects this brain area, …
