Project Grant 2146778
- This $721,141 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program aims to improve understanding of how humans perceive and are aware of time, a crucial aspect of everyday life. The award to George Mason University will conduct a series of experiments using electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and computational modeling to investigate...
- 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...
- The Washington University has been awarded a $574,000 Project Grant by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The 3-year grant, beginning September 1, 2023, will support research to understand how people use language to communicate the reliability of their memories, and how others evaluate the credibility of such memory reports. The project will examine the independent roles of...
- The National Science Foundation awarded $500,000 under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to the University of California, San Francisco for a project grant titled "Understanding Mechanisms of Semantic Memory through Intracranial Recording and Stimulation." The three-year project, running from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025, will utilize intracranial electroencephalography recordings from awake epilepsy patients to decipher how neural...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $519,793 will fund research into visual working memory representations at the University of California, San Diego from July 2022 to June 2025. The award is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which supports basic research in cognitive sciences. The research will test theories of how visual working memory holds probabilistic information about object features rather than single values. Using...
- 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 $120,276 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund a collaborative research project to enhance episodic memory through the integration of real-world brain recording, stimulation, and perception data. The key objectives are to: Synchronize human experience data from various IoT sensors with neuronal activity recordings to understand how brain patterns relate to real-world experiences. Leverage...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded $160,000 to support a Postdoctoral Fellowship under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) beginning September 1, 2025, with completion targeted for August 31, 2027. Under the sponsorship of Dr. Marcelo Mattar at New York University, this award supports research investigating how humans utilize episodic memory—detailed recollections of past experiences—to make...
- 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...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $282,603 supports research into time and episodic memory being conducted at Washington University in University City, Missouri from September 2022 through August 2023. The research investigates how the capacity for remembering past personal experiences contributes to one's sense of time and understanding of the past, present and future. Specifically, the project studies temporal cognition in individuals with episodic amnesia to learn how episodic memory is involved in cognition about time. It aims to determine if those with amnesia can develop and maintain concepts of the past, present and and future, and understand time's irreversible order and sequencing of events. The research also examines if those with amnesia discount the value of future rewards, make impulsive choices, or exhibit presentist bias in practical and moral decisions. This work falls under the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which supports basic research and education in these fields, to strengthen the nation's scientific capabilities and understanding of investments in science.
