Project Grant 2318899
- 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...
- The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) was awarded a $476,617 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program. The grant will fund research into the neurobehavioral mechanisms underlying value-directed remembering from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. As part of the NSF's mission to promote basic research in the social and behavioral sciences, this project aims...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) awarded a $529,508 Project Grant to the University of California, Berkeley to investigate the cognitive mechanisms that enable individuals to leverage the brain's motivation system for arbitrary goals. The 3-year research project, starting on June 1, 2024, aims to uncover how learning and decision-making differ when people pursue familiar, objective rewards versus novel, self-imposed...
- Cedars-Sinai Medical Center was awarded a three-year, $934,850 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). The grant will support research using single-neuron recordings in the human brain to test theories of error monitoring and gain mechanistic insights into how the medial prefrontal cortex enables performance monitoring. Key products include testing...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support a collaborative research project on situational learning and decision-making. The $163,588 award, which runs from April 15, 2025 to March 31, 2028, will leverage behavioral methods, neuroimaging techniques, and computational modeling to identify the mechanisms involved in learning about personalities and situations, and examine how this learning...
- The University of California Irvine received a $349,551 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Directorate to support exploratory and confirmatory neurocognitive modeling with latent variables from June 2021 through May 2024. The grant funds research under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to contribute to scientific strength and welfare through promotion of basic research and...
- This $160,000 Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support a postdoctoral fellowship investigating the neural basis of social influence perception. Under the sponsorship of Drs. Shari Liu, Marina Bedny, and Tianmin Shu at Johns Hopkins University, the fellowship supports an early-career scientist who will use behavioral and neuroimaging methods to examine how the brain processes information about physical...
- This $240,970 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will fund research into adaptive decision-making rules under changing conditions. The University of Houston will study how the primate brain balances decision deliberation and commitment when temporally extended decisions must navigate dynamic and uncertain environments. Investigators will develop a novel theoretical framework incorporating flexible decision bounds that can...
- The University of California Irvine was awarded a three-year, $356,874 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant will support collaborative research examining the interaction of sensory and response processes in decision making. Over the grant period spanning September 2021 through August 2024, the University will conduct basic research and education to further scientific understanding of how...
- This $399,365 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) aims to develop ethical guidelines for neurotechnology research to ensure its advancements enhance societal well-being. The research team will analyze existing ethics guidance, survey neurotechnology researchers on their perspectives, and provide recommendations to improve the utility and impact of ethics resources in this field. This...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $800,000 Project Grant to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to support research on "Neuronal Substrates Underlying the Construction of Value in Humans". This 3-year grant, which commenced on October 1, 2023, aims to investigate how the human brain forms personal preferences and makes value-based decisions. The research will use intracranial recordings in epilepsy patients to study how individual neurons in the brain's value network (amygdala, lateral orbitofrontal cortex, and ventromedial prefrontal cortex) represent and integrate features of stimuli like food, art, and consumer goods to compute an overall value signal. A subcontract was awarded to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to provide specialized research services and expertise in support of this project. The findings from this work are expected to yield fundamental insights into the neural basis of human decision-making and preference formation.
