Brown University was awarded a $408,677 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of International Science and Engineering under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075) for the period of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant funds collaborative research between Brown University researchers and their partners to study how emergent motor timing influences perceptual learning. The research is expected to contribute to...
Brown University received a $499,996 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation to support research titled "A TEST OF A NOVEL NON-PROBABILISTIC MODEL OF 3D CUE INTEGRATION" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant was awarded under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which supports basic research and education in these fields as well as monitoring science resources. Through this funding, Brown University...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $466,640 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to The Trustees of Princeton University. The award, titled "CAREER: The Receptive Field as a Window into the Developing Brain," supports research to measure how the parietal lobe and cerebellum in the brain mature during typical development and support a child's ability to visually attend to their environment. The project aims to understand...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award to Brown University provides $380,480.00 in funding from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2028 to investigate the neural control of elaborate gestural displays in animals, with a focus on woodpecker drumming behavior. The project aims to uncover the underlying brain mechanisms that enable the production and perception of these complex communication signals, with the long-term goal of advancing...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $769,794 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Brown University. The grant supports collaborative research to investigate the mechanisms that regulate co-transmission of multiple neurotransmitters in "bilingual" neurons and how this communication is dynamically modulated by sex and social environment in the fruit fly model system. The key objectives include: 1) Examining how glutamate+/octopamine+ neuron...
The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded Brown University a $173,805 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) for the period of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2025. The grant supports collaborative research on adaptive strategies under empire transitions, contributing to the scientific understanding of resources invested in social and behavioral science. As the sole awardee, Brown University will...
This $1,090,678 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program supports research to develop computational algorithms that align deep neural networks (DNNs) with human visual processing. The project aims to rectify the growing "misalignment" between the behavior of large-scale DNNs and human cognition as AI systems become more capable. Researchers at Brown University will combine human...
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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $281,367 Project Grant to the Rochester Institute of Technology under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The three-year award will fund research into visual perception of three-dimensional object shape from patterns of image shading and contours. The researchers will study how the human visual system processes and interprets information about an object's 3D properties. They will incorporate optical effects typically...
Brown University was awarded a $904,860 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Computer and Network Systems. The grant is part of the NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), which supports investigator-initiated research and education in computing, communications, and information science and engineering. Under this award, Brown University will conduct collaborative research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: CPS: MEDIUM: CLOSING THE...
