Project Grant 2318886
- 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 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 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 $382,535 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Yale University to develop understanding of attention in preschool-aged children. The Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences award falls under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which promotes basic research and education in these fields. Specifically, the two-year project will investigate the emergence of selective and sustained attention to socially relevant audiovisual...
- 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 University of Chicago was awarded a $499,999 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation on May 1, 2021 to complete work by April 30, 2024. The grant is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to promote basic research and education in these fields. Under the award, the University will predict attention fluctuations and their consequences for memory from functional brain connectivity. The research will contribute to scientific...
- This federal Project Grant award of $604,425.00 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program aims to determine how the brain's memory systems help prevent competition and promote cooperation between memories to guide attention. The research, led by the University of California, Berkeley, will investigate the role of the hippocampus in minimizing confusion between similar memories and accurately directing attention, with potential...
- 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) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $500,000 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to understand how the brain supports decision-making processes. The three-year grant, awarded under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to identify neural features that provide information about the decision-making process, build decoders to predict decisions, and develop a closed-loop...
- 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 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 non-invasive brain imaging techniques like EEG and fMRI, the project will analyze the underlying neural activity associated with self-initiated attention, with the goal of improving understanding of how attention can fail in disease, fatigue, or demanding circumstances. A key component of the project is also to advance STEM education by involving minority and underprivileged students in the research. The award includes a sub-grant to the University of Florida to collaborate on the project. This research has the potential to lead to interventions that can augment human attention capabilities to support health, safety, and performance in diverse settings.
