The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $887,831 Project Grant under its STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. The grant, awarded on September 1, 2023, will fund a collaborative research effort to study the neurological factors underlying individual variability in auditory learning and second-language acquisition. The research will integrate attention monitoring via pupil dilation and neuromodulation through vagus nerve stimulation to...
This federal Project Grant award of $693,856 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) will support research on the structure and function of coordinated neural activity in the auditory system of awake mice. The research, conducted by the Regents of the University of California, San Francisco, aims to identify and characterize coordinated neural ensembles in the...
This $250,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on the role of the cortico-striatal system in implicit sound category learning. The project aims to investigate how rhythmic presentation of new sound categories can engage the brain's implicit, reward-based learning system to enhance adults' ability to learn new speech sounds. Using a combination of behavioral tasks,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $154,156 to the University of Oregon to conduct research on how people adapt to differences in speech production across speakers. The project examines the role of learned selective attention in enabling listeners to rapidly adjust to novel speech accents. The research combines computational modeling and behavioral experimentation to test key predictions...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Directorate (CFDA 47.075) provides $160,000 over a 2-year period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The grant supports an early career postdoctoral researcher to investigate the mechanisms underlying perceptual learning and adaptation to accented speech. The research aims to shed light on how listeners can successfully adapt to the diversity of speech contexts encountered in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $132,291 to the University of Chicago to conduct a longitudinal study examining the relationship between sound perception and sound production in second language learning. The goal is to better understand how these skills develop over time and interact, which will help inform more effective pronunciation training methods for language learners. The study will...
The University of California, Berkeley received a $830,432 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070). The purpose of this 5-year project, starting in October 2024, is to better understand the brain mechanisms that support language production and comprehension in humans, and to leverage this knowledge to develop advanced, efficient methods for decoding intended speech. The project will...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $550,000 supports research to evaluate computational models of infant language acquisition against experimental data on English- and Spanish-learning infants. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the award will enable researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles to directly compare the output of different computational word segmentation models to infant behavioral data on the acquisition of...
This $649,812 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to examine how the brain processes and organizes language input that lacks a temporal sequence, such as rapidly flashed written stimuli. The primary awardee, New York University (NYU), will use magnetoencephalography (MEG) to investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of syntactic and semantic computations when language is conveyed without...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $550,299 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, to conduct research on the transfer of statistical learning from speech perception to production. The project aims to understand the mechanisms by which the brain coordinates listening and speaking, even when changes are subtle and not consciously identifiable. Preliminary data...
