This Project Grant award of $346,803 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research at the University of Chicago to test theories on what makes certain stimuli more memorable than others across individuals. The project aims to use converging methods in behavioral experiments, brain imaging, and artificial intelligence to investigate three key theories on memory prioritization: 1) how brain "maps" organize...
The University of Chicago was awarded a $499,999 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation on May 1, 2021 to complete work by April 30, 2024. The grant is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to promote basic research and education in these fields. Under the award, the University will predict attention fluctuations and their consequences for memory from functional brain connectivity. The research will contribute to scientific...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $457,860 Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Project Grant (CFDA 47.075) to the University of California, Irvine to conduct research on memory consolidation over multiple nights of sleep. The 5-year project, starting on May 1, 2025, will use behavioral, physiological, and computational methods to examine how memory benefits change over time and with multiple nights of sleep, with a focus on the weakest memories that are most reliant on sleep...
This $850,000 Project Grant award, funded jointly by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems and Division of Information and Intelligent Systems under CFDA 47.070 Computer and Information Science and Engineering, supports research to understand how sleep and memory are connected in the brain. The project will use long-duration, high-resolution recordings of neuronal activity to observe changes in synaptic connections during sleep and memory tasks,...
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 $202,401 Project Grant was awarded to Furman University by the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) on August 15, 2023. The funding supports a research project titled "RUI: Mechanisms of Memory Consolidation in Offline Wakefulness," which investigates how short periods of waking rest can improve memory consolidation, similar to the process that occurs during sleep. The project aims to deepen the understanding of memory and identify ways to...
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) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award provides $160,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral fellowship investigation into how sleep facilitates the integration of new and existing memories. The goal is to understand the brain mechanisms that enable this integration process, which is critical for building knowledge from new information encountered in daily life. The study will use electroencephalography (EEG),...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $208,090 Project Grant to Purdue University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant is for a 3-year project from August 2024 to July 2027 focused on building a conceptual framework for understanding the "engram" - the neural mechanisms underlying memory retention and recall. The project will employ methods from biology, history, and philosophy of science to develop an updated, expanded...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $125,986 project grant to Columbia University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant supports research from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022 titled "NSF-BSF: MEMORY MODIFICATION THROUGH CONCURRENT CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS STIMULATION." The project aims to contribute to scientific understanding of how memory can be modified through both conscious and unconscious stimulation. As the place of...
