The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $300,000 Project Grant under the CISE (CFDA 47.070) program to Purdue University. The grant supports the development of advanced brain-machine interface technologies for speech decoding and restoration. This research aims to enable implantable devices that can decode and restore speech for individuals who have lost their ability to speak due to conditions like ALS, stroke, or traumatic brain injury. The project will leverage recent...
This $100,602 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of a speech inversion tool by researchers at the University of Cincinnati. Funded under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the three-year award will refine machine learning methods to accurately recover articulatory movements from acoustic speech recordings. Specifically, the researchers aim to extend their existing system for analyzing tongue and lip movements to also model...
This $649,812 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to examine how the brain processes and organizes language input that lacks a temporal sequence, such as rapidly flashed written stimuli. The primary awardee, New York University (NYU), will use magnetoencephalography (MEG) to investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of syntactic and semantic computations when language is conveyed without...
The University of Southern California will receive $1.2 million under a four-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct research on structured variability in vocal tract articulation dynamics during speech. The grant is part of NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program, which supports research and education in all areas of computing, communications, and information science and engineering. Through May 2027, USC researchers will use advanced magnetic...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences supports research at the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying speech production. The project aims to generate a functional map of the brain systems that enable fluent speech, with the goal of improving diagnosis and treatment of speech production deficits.

The $965,471 award, effective August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2026, will utilize functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study how the brain coordinates the pitch-related prosody and articulation of speech. By distinguishing the neural circuits involved in these two speech production abilities, the research may lead to new diagnostic tools for evaluating speech disabilities and enhance computational models of speech synthesis. This work aligns with the NSF's CFDA #47.075 Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program, which supports basic research and education to strengthen the scientific foundations needed to address societal challenges.
