Information security and digital watermarking with Latin squares. The importance of digital information is increasing constantly. Audio, video, and still image data dominate our daily lives. Such information has commercial and strategic importance. It is invaluable in crime prevention: for example, video from security cameras. The protection of commercially valuable material against piracy and sensitive information against security breaches is vital to our economy and our safety.

Audio, video, and still image data dominate our daily lives. Such information has commercial and strategic importance. It is invaluable in crime prevention: for example, video from security cameras. The protection of commercially valuable material against piracy and sensitive information against security breaches is vital to our economy and our safety. This project addresses these issues, by developing new, secure watermarks and fingerprints to protect digital information. Such watermarks can also protect radio communication channels, which is important due to the rising demand for wireless connectivity.Read moreRead less

Summary
A Neural Network: Understanding Brain Function. This proposal focuses on the mechanisms that regulate brain function, particularly those underpinning the changes in circuitry (plasticity) caused by altered inputs. As such, its core goal is to create an interface between researchers in the neurosciences, computational modelling, robotics and cognitive sciences in order to facilitate optimum collaborative interactions, identify key research questions and promote training opportunities across a mul ....A Neural Network: Understanding Brain Function. This proposal focuses on the mechanisms that regulate brain function, particularly those underpinning the changes in circuitry (plasticity) caused by altered inputs. As such, its core goal is to create an interface between researchers in the neurosciences, computational modelling, robotics and cognitive sciences in order to facilitate optimum collaborative interactions, identify key research questions and promote training opportunities across a multidisciplinary spectrum. This will drive an integrated and accelerated program of discovery and technological development, enhancing Australia's leadership in this crucial field and helping to highlight new biotechnology opportunities and capture social and economic benefits for the nation.

Neurobiological computation using self organization. Despite their phenomenal power and speed there are many simple things that computers still cannot do, that humans, and indeed many animals, are able to perform effortlessly. The research outlined in this proposal aims to develop new, biologically inspired, computational approaches that attempt to bridge this gap. This research will help place Australia, despite its relatively small size, as a leading research community in the development of ....Neurobiological computation using self organization. Despite their phenomenal power and speed there are many simple things that computers still cannot do, that humans, and indeed many animals, are able to perform effortlessly. The research outlined in this proposal aims to develop new, biologically inspired, computational approaches that attempt to bridge this gap. This research will help place Australia, despite its relatively small size, as a leading research community in the development of the next wave of computing devices. The development of new and "more natural" approaches to computing will deliver large dividends to a range of social, economic and environmental problems.Read moreRead less
