Project Grant 2240256
- This two-year, $158,962 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Old Dominion University to understand declines in sustained attention over time. Funded through the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the research will combine behavioral experiments with statistical modeling. Experiments in a driving simulator and other tasks will examine how automated controls, mental rest, task difficulty and dual-task loads affect vigilance. Researchers...
- 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 federal Project Grant award, totaling $659,257.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to William Marsh Rice University in Houston, Texas. The funding will support research to advance understanding of how humans disengage attention from visual distractions, with the goal of informing the development of new technologies like computer vision and augmented reality that can overcome limitations of human attention in...
- The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program awarded a $624,041 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) for research on "Attentional Guidance and Decisions During Visual Search." The project, running from March 15, 2025 to February 29, 2028, uses behavior, eye-tracking, virtual reality, brain activity, and computational modeling to investigate the two-stage process underlying efficient visual search....
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Oregon State University. The primary objective of the research is to inform real-time adaptive automation interventions in safety-critical system operations by leveraging cognitive workload predictions and integrating operator emotional state information. The project seeks to develop an integrated cognitive-emotional state assessment framework that links operator cognitive and...
- This two-year $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) will fund an EEG investigation of temporal orienting of attention for goal-directed eye and hand movements at Providence, Rhode Island. The grant aims to contribute to basic research in the social, behavioral and economic sciences by supporting the monitoring of resources invested in science. Key products will include an EEG study exploring how the brain...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $659,877 project grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075) for the period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026. The grant funds research aimed at studying how salient visual distractions impact ongoing task performance and how humans mitigate distractions to remain productive. Researchers will use a novel forced-response method involving eye-tracking...
- The National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program has awarded a $399,042 project grant to Trustees of Dartmouth College to conduct research on audio-visual effects and attentional control in the human brain. The 3-year research project, running from Mar 15, 2025 to Feb 29, 2028, aims to examine how the brain integrates distinct visual and auditory signals to form a coherent perceptual experience, with a focus on the role of spatial location as a...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, awarded $340,144 to the University of Oregon on March 15, 2025. The project aims to examine how people adapt to differences in speech production and test the hypothesis that listeners use reinforcement learning to rapidly reallocate attention across perceptual dimensions. The research combines computational modeling and behavioral experimentation to advance the...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $259,552.00 and provided by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, aims to investigate the role of perceptual uncertainty in behavioral errors. The research project, conducted by Brown University, will challenge theoretical assumptions about how the brain processes degraded visual information to enable complex human interactions with the environment. This work has important implications for...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $215,347 to Oregon State University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The funding supports research from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2025 to understand why vigilance declines over time through behavioral experiments and statistical modeling. The research will examine the types of errors people make during sustained attention tasks requiring monitoring over long periods, such as baggage screening or military surveillance. Experiments in a driving simulator will assess how automated vehicle controls impact driver vigilance. Other behavioral experiments will evaluate factors reducing attention maintenance. The award also supports training graduate and undergraduate students in experimental psychology, cognitive modeling, and human factors engineering. Findings will aid developing techniques to improve human performance during sustained attention tasks.
