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...
This $422,562 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support research at the University of Michigan to investigate the role of top-down auditory processing in human perception and attention. The goal is to understand how higher brain areas interact with lower auditory centers in the brainstem and midbrain to enable listeners to understand speech in noisy environments. The research will use advanced...
This Project Grant award of $399,042 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support research at Dartmouth College investigating audiovisual attention mechanisms in the human brain. The research aims to examine how spatial location serves as a basis for integrating visual and auditory signals to form a coherent perceptual experience. Key activities include assessing the temporal dynamics of cross-modal attention, exploring...
This $577,409 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund research at American University to study infant visual object recognition and its implications for computational models of human vision. Over a three-year period from September 2022 to August 2025, researchers will use electroencephalography to analyze how 12-15 month old infants represent and process visual objects. Results will be compared to predictions from...
This federal Project Grant award of $283,832, made by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports research to investigate how the human brain creates the perception of visual stability during naturalistic attention tasks. The project aims to test whether the latest AI-powered vision-language models can generate plausible visual scenes in real-time using limited input...
This $329,099 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program. The grant aims to develop new computational models to uncover the functional architecture of the brain and its role in enabling complex behaviors like navigation and decision-making. Specifically, the project will: Identify the brain systems underlying navigation in zebrafish larvae using advanced optical imaging...
The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded a $143,624 Project Grant to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070). The award will support a collaborative research project between multidisciplinary investigators to leverage advances in neuroscience data and develop brain-inspired artificial intelligence. Specifically, the researchers will analyze...
This Project Grant award of $225,307 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to understand how the brain extracts meaning from sounds and integrates this information with other senses, primarily vision. The project aims to test a hypothesis about auditory semantic alignment, which proposes that cortical areas specialize in processing particular categories of sounds and pass that information to a broader amodal...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program awarded a $124,997 project grant to the University of Massachusetts Boston from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025. The grant supports the development of a multimodal machine learning method to simultaneously analyze electroencephalogram (EEG) data and animal behavior data to study group behavior, particularly sleep patterns. The project aims to create a "dictionary" of animal movements and behaviors and incorporate...
This $1,999,112 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering Directorate (NSF ENG) will fund research at The Johns Hopkins University to develop new artificial intelligence techniques inspired by neuroscience models of visual attention. Specifically, the grant aims to translate models of visual attention in mammalian brains into new deep learning algorithms that can greatly reduce the number of variables updated during machine learning. If successful, these brain-inspired...
