- This Project Grant award of $346,803, provided by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), supports research at the University of Chicago to test theories underlying what makes certain stimuli more memorable than others. The project aims to understand the underlying brain mechanisms that determine what information is prioritized for storage in human memory. The research utilizes behavioral experiments, brain imaging, and artificial...
- This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $475,715 to Vanderbilt University to advance understanding of how visual long-term memory guides visual attention and perception. The researchers will use electroencephalography to record brain activity from participants searching for objects in cluttered scenes. Analyses will reveal whether brain...
- 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 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 $600,000 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program, will support research to develop a new Bayesian diffusion model framework for advanced visual perception and cognition systems. The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) will serve as the primary awardee, with the goal of revisiting the analysis-by-synthesis methodology by integrating generative priors into the learning and inference...
- 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...
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 computational modeling and experimental techniques, the project will examine whether people have access to probability distributions over features or simply a single best feature. It aims to understand how variability in memory precision and confidence relates to population coding representations in the brain. Broader impacts include outreach to underrepresented groups and software development to facilitate online memory testing. Findings could inform working memory models and the design of user interfaces requiring simultaneous monitoring of multiple visual elements.
