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...
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 $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...
The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania were awarded a three-year, $539,985 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences. The grant will support research from October 2021 through September 2024 to further understanding of the neural mechanisms that enable remarkable visual fidelity in visual recognition memory. This award falls under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The program aims to advance...
This Project Grant award of $910,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences supports research on the "Mechanisms of Willed Attention" at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). This research, under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to investigate the brain mechanisms that enable humans to voluntarily direct their attention, especially in the absence of external cues. Using...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $341,347 to the University of California, Davis to conduct research on attentional guidance and decision-making processes during visual search tasks. The project uses behavior, eye-tracking, virtual reality, brain activity, and computational modeling to investigate the efficiency of visual search, testing hypotheses that attentional guidance and...
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 Project Grant award for $346,803 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant supports research at the University of Chicago to investigate the mechanisms that determine the memorability of stimuli, such as images, voices, and words. The research will test three main theories about what makes certain information more memorable than others, using a combination of behavioral experiments, brain...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075 Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) provides $386,744 to Vanderbilt University to investigate the components, correlates, and mechanisms of object recognition and visual decision-making abilities. The project aims to understand how and why individuals vary in their ability to make visual decisions, analyzing the performance of large participant groups across...
This $382,535 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Yale University to develop understanding of attention in preschool-aged children. The Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences award falls under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which promotes basic research and education in these fields. Specifically, the two-year project will investigate the emergence of selective and sustained attention to socially relevant audiovisual...
