The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) has been awarded a $394,347 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences. This grant, titled "Collaborative Research: Neural Computational Rules of Robust and Generalizable Learning", aims to investigate the fundamental neural computations that enable fast, robust, and generalizable learning in biological systems, with the goal of informing the development of novel artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms.

The project's key objectives are: (A) determining changes in neural responses and neural correlates of generalizable learning in the locust olfactory pathway; (B) identifying potential learning rules for generalization using a machine learning approach; and (C) validating the derived learning rules through behavioral experiments. Findings from this research are expected to enhance the understanding of the principles underlying generalizable associative learning and lead to the development of canonical AI algorithms for robust and generalizable learning, with potential societal impacts across healthcare, national security, and other domains. The award period runs from August 15, 2023, to July 31, 2026.
