This $401,918 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research by the University of Rochester to investigate neural mechanisms underlying how the brain processes complex sounds like speech and music across different timescales. The key objectives are to use computational models and neural recordings from auditory cortex to understand the brain's flexible integration of sound information over...
This $450,028 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on how the brain processes complex auditory information and makes statistical inferences about sound patterns. The primary awardee, The Johns Hopkins University, will conduct computational modeling, behavioral testing, and neurophysiological experiments to study how the brain tracks statistical relationships and temporal dependencies...
This $225,307 federal Project Grant was awarded on March 15, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant supports research to understand how the brain extracts meaning from sounds and integrates this with other sensory information, such as vision, to support cognitive functioning. The project aims to test the "auditory semantic alignment hypothesis" using fMRI to investigate cortical areas that specialize in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $422,562 to the Regents of the University of Michigan will fund research to study the role of top-down signals in subcortical auditory processing. The goal is to understand how higher brain areas interact with lower auditory centers to enable human listeners to understand speech in noisy environments. The research will use electroencephalography (EEG) to measure brain activity...
This is a $232,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.075). The grant supports collaborative research at the University of Maryland, College Park to elucidate the computational and neural mechanisms underlying music enculturation, or how people spontaneously engage with and learn unfamiliar musical cultures. The research combines computational...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $619,951 to the University of Rochester to study how the human brain encodes and processes the perception of song. The project leverages advanced experimental methods, including functional MRI and intracranial recordings from neurosurgical patients, to better understand the neural mechanisms underlying song perception. The research aims to differentiate...
This $154,156 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to examine how people adapt to differences in speech production and perception across speakers and accents. The research is guided by a computational model of learned selective attention, and aims to test key predictions around how listeners use reinforcement learning to reallocate attention to perceptual dimensions that improve speech...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $150,945 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on March 1, 2021 for collaborative research titled "Context Dependence Across Categories: Bridging Developmental, Experimental, and Theoretical Perspectives." The research is being conducted under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which supports basic research and education in the social, behavioral and economic sciences. Specifically, the...
This $598,703 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant aims to elucidate the computational and neural mechanisms underlying musical enculturation - how people spontaneously engage with and learn the musical structures of unfamiliar cultures. The research involves implementing a series of behavioral, neuroimaging, and neurophysiology...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $124,539 to support research examining the links between perception and production of second language speech sounds over time. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the two-year award to the University of Texas at Austin will lay the foundation for developing a comprehensive model of second language sound learning. Researchers will train...
