Project Grant 2308725
- 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 $450,028 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research into statistical inference in the auditory system. The project, conducted by The Johns Hopkins University, explores how the brain extracts and organizes auditory information from complex, dynamic soundscapes. The research aims to develop a theoretical framework for statistical inference in auditory processing, supported by behavioral and...
- 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...
- The University of Rochester will use a $552,068 project grant from the National Science Foundation to study the role of neural oscillations in coordinating competing cognitive processes. Funded through the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), this three-year award beginning October 1, 2021 will support research examining how the brain coordinates multiple tasks simultaneously. The grant aims to advance understanding of cognitive functions through investigating...
- The National Science Foundation awarded New York University a $495,472 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) for work on "Audiomotor Speech Rhythms and Their Perceptual Consequences" from March 1, 2021 to February 29, 2024. The grant will fund research into how rhythmic patterns in speech production relate to speech perception. As the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program aims to support basic research that contributes to...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary This CAREER award of $532,250 from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports research conducted at SUNY at Binghamton examining implicit sound category learning in adults. The project, initiated May 1, 2025 and extending through April 30, 2030, investigates how rhythmic presentation of new speech sounds engages the brain's reward-based...
- 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...
- Federal Project Grant Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded $600,978 to Massachusetts General Hospital on May 1, 2025, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to conduct research on neural representation of temporal phonological structure. The project, which extends through April 30, 2028, will investigate how the brain processes speech sounds as they unfold sequentially over time, specifically...
- 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 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075), provides $533,853 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for research on the perception and cognition of sound texture. The investigators will develop a computational framework to understand the properties of environmental noises that underlie human perception. This involves assembling a large dataset...
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 millisecond to minute timescales, and how this flexibility may depend on the specific acoustic features and behavioral relevance of sounds. The project also includes plans for outreach, lectures, and undergraduate mentoring to publicize the research findings and build expertise in this area. This award reflects NSF's mission to advance fundamental scientific understanding and support the training of future researchers.
