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 neurostimulation system to alter decisions.
As a sub-awardee, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai will contribute to the grant's objectives by providing human subject data and assisting with data processing. This interdisciplinary research project seeks to advance knowledge on the neuroscience of decision-making, with potential applications for educational curricula and artificial intelligence development.
