Project Grant 2316716
- This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $475,715 to Vanderbilt University to advance understanding of how visual long-term memory guides visual attention and perception. The researchers will use electroencephalography to record brain activity from participants searching for objects in cluttered scenes. Analyses will reveal whether brain...
- 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...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $625,000 will fund research into the brain network mechanisms underlying task-general cognition and intelligent human behavior from September 2022 to August 2025. Under the federal Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), Rutgers University, Newark will investigate how dynamic activity flows within cognitive control networks implement intelligent goal-directed behavior across diverse tasks. Researchers will utilize brain...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $208,090 Project Grant to Purdue University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant is for a 3-year project from August 2024 to July 2027 focused on building a conceptual framework for understanding the "engram" - the neural mechanisms underlying memory retention and recall. The project will employ methods from biology, history, and philosophy of science to develop an updated, expanded...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $604,425 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as University of California, Berkeley, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The award, effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2028, supports fundamental research investigating how the brain leverages memory systems to guide attention while...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $125,986 project grant to Columbia University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant supports research from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022 titled "NSF-BSF: MEMORY MODIFICATION THROUGH CONCURRENT CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS STIMULATION." The project aims to contribute to scientific understanding of how memory can be modified through both conscious and unconscious stimulation. As the place of...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded The Ohio State University a $459,039 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) effective August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2029. The award funds research investigating how memory retrieval and predictive processing operate jointly in human language comprehension by leveraging computational mechanisms of attention embedded in large language models (LLMs). The project will systematically compare...
- This $850,000 Project Grant award, funded jointly by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems and Division of Information and Intelligent Systems under CFDA 47.070 Computer and Information Science and Engineering, supports research to understand how sleep and memory are connected in the brain. The project will use long-duration, high-resolution recordings of neuronal activity to observe changes in synaptic connections during sleep and memory tasks,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a 3-year, $430,762 Project Grant entitled "COMPCOG: TOWARDS A UNIFIED ACCOUNT OF WHEN EXTERNAL CUES ARE BENEFICIAL OR DETRIMENTAL DURING MEMORY SEARCH" to Rutgers, The State University. The project aims to develop computational models to study how environmental cues and reminders affect human memory, with the goal of informing the design of memory interventions for educational settings and individuals with memory impairments. The research will translate descriptive theories of memory cues into mathematical models that can be empirically tested and compared to identify the most effective cue content and timing. This work aligns with the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, which supports basic research to advance scientific understanding in these domains and promote the welfare of the nation.
