This $283,832 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to better understand how the human brain creates the illusion of visual stability during natural attention tasks. The award recipient, The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, doing business as Stony Brook University, will conduct experiments using advanced AI-powered vision-language models to generate plausible...
This $466,640 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to measure the development of visual attention and visuospatial processing in the parietal lobe and cerebellum as children mature into adulthood. The 5-year project, commencing in August 2024, aims to better understand how the brain's visual processing regions coordinate to support the emergence of skilled visual attention, which...
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 $299,964 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) is supporting research to enhance how computers understand and recognize shapes in images and 3D data. The project aims to develop new deep learning frameworks that can better identify critical object parts and their spatial relationships, allowing computers to perceive objects more like humans do. Key anticipated outcomes include...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $519,793 will fund research into visual working memory representations at the University of California, San Diego from July 2022 to June 2025. The award is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which supports basic research in cognitive sciences. The research will test theories of how visual working memory holds probabilistic information about object features rather than single values. Using...
This $599,651 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences supports a research study titled "Naming Names: How, and How Early, Does Object Naming Influence Infants' Fundamental Object Representations?" at Northwestern University. The study aims to discover if 7-month-old infants can link how objects are named to how they represent those objects, as well as examine if infants' early object representations support their...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075 Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) provides $386,744 to Vanderbilt University to investigate the components, correlates, and mechanisms of object recognition and visual decision-making abilities. The project aims to understand how and why individuals vary in their ability to make visual decisions, analyzing the performance of large participant groups across...

The three-year award beginning August 1, 2021 will fund...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $166,289 Project Grant to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop a novel single-ear biosensing system for continuous facial and eye movement tracking and 3D facial reconstruction. The research aims to enable camera-free facial landmark detection and 3D facial animation through cross-modal transfer learning between visual and biosignal data. Key project objectives include designing low-power...
This $207,737 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) will fund research to develop a new class of machine learning models called "Programmatic Foundation Models" that can efficiently analyze large-scale satellite, aerial, and ground imagery. The goal is to create interpretable, robust AI models that can understand global and local phenomena from images, providing insights...

This $212,008 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083), supports research at North Dakota State University (NDSU) on the visual perception of meaning and face recognition in children aged 5-12 years old. The project investigates how children's tendency to detect "pareidolic" or accidental faces in random visual noise patterns changes as they gain more experience with the visual world. The research aims to advance understanding of how the visual system becomes tuned to the statistical structure of natural images, and how this supports the recognition of complex patterns like faces and objects in cluttered scenes. The award period runs from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. This work is jointly funded across multiple NSF directorates and seeks to establish connections between visual development and the processing of natural image statistics.
