This Project Grant award of $199,999 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research effort between the University of Chicago and Swiss partners to advance the understanding of the neural and behavioral underpinnings of working memory. The goal is to clarify the cognitive role of neurally active representations in working memory and examine whether there are specific operations that require...
This $325,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research at the University of Chicago to investigate the role of different memory systems in guiding decision-making for novel choices. The research team plans to leverage eye-tracking, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), computational modeling, and patient populations to characterize how "rigid" and "flexible"...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $346,803 to the University of Chicago to test theories on what determines the memorability of stimuli like images, voices, and words. The 5-year project will use behavioral experiments, brain imaging, and artificial intelligence to investigate three main theories: 1) that memory is organized in mental maps where more central, accessible items are more...
The University of Chicago was awarded a $203,995 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075) to conduct research examining the intrinsic memorability of voices. Over a 15-month period from June 2023 through August 2024, the university will test thousands of people's memories of 630 diverse voices saying the same sentence to determine which voices are most...
The University of Chicago received a $150,001 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Social and Economic Science on August 1, 2021, with a completion date of July 31, 2023. The grant is part of NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to support basic research and education in these fields as well as monitor science resources. Under the grant, the University will conduct research on efficient matching, continuous voting,...
This three-year, $742,283 National Science Foundation project grant funds research into understanding and enhancing human learning and memory consolidation processes. Awarded on August 1, 2021 under the SBE Sciences Directorate's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program, the grant supports work at Northwestern University through July 31, 2024. The university aims to advance basic scientific knowledge in this area, in line with the program's goals of contributing to scientific strength...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will provide $183,411 to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, to conduct research on how memory contributes to goal-directed attention from July 1, 2024 to February 28, 2026. The project aims to determine the neural mechanisms by which memories guide attention, focusing on the role of the hippocampus. It...
The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded $670,000 under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075) to Vanderbilt University for the period of August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025. The award will support research examining the theoretical connections between attention and memory through the development of new experimental procedures and computational models. Specifically, the grantee will adapt the Eriksen flanker...
The University of Chicago was awarded a $238,603 project grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct research at the intersection of conformal field theory, cryo-electron microscopy, and neural networks from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024. The grant was awarded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increased understanding of major problems. Through this funding, the University...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $299,126 will fund research at the University of Chicago from March 1, 2022 through February 29, 2024 to infer neuronal activity from anatomical connectivity maps in simplified neural cell cultures. The goal is to develop methods for understanding how physical wiring relates to activity in neural networks, which can later be applied to whole brain maps. Researchers will record functional activity from a 2D neural cell network, map...
