This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083), provides $216,154 to Kansas State University to study the impacts of auditory perceptual learning on working memory skills and cortical dynamics. The grant aims to examine how changes in the brain from auditory training influence memory performance, with plans to measure the effects of trained vs. untrained sounds on working memory fidelity, inhibition, and mental effort....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $208,090 Project Grant to Purdue University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant is for a 3-year project from August 2024 to July 2027 focused on building a conceptual framework for understanding the "engram" - the neural mechanisms underlying memory retention and recall. The project will employ methods from biology, history, and philosophy of science to develop an updated, expanded...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $450,028 to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on statistical inference in auditory processing. The research aims to develop a theoretical framework for how the brain tracks complex statistical relationships and temporal dependencies in sound sequences to guide auditory perception. It will use computational modeling, behavioral testing, and...
This Project Grant award of $225,307 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to understand how the brain extracts meaning from sounds and integrates this information with other senses, primarily vision. The project aims to test a hypothesis about auditory semantic alignment, which proposes that cortical areas specialize in processing particular categories of sounds and pass that information to a broader amodal...
This $401,918 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research by the University of Rochester to investigate neural mechanisms underlying how the brain processes complex sounds like speech and music across different timescales. The key objectives are to use computational models and neural recordings from auditory cortex to understand the brain's flexible integration of sound information over...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $619,951 to the University of Rochester to study how the human brain encodes and processes the perception of song. The project leverages advanced experimental methods, including functional MRI and intracranial recordings from neurosurgical patients, to better understand the neural mechanisms underlying song perception. The research aims to differentiate...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to The Johns Hopkins University. The 3-year grant, which runs from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028, aims to unlock critical new knowledge about auditory resilience and susceptibility to anthropogenic (human-generated) noise. The research team, with expertise in animal bioacoustics, auditory neuroscience, neuroanatomy, and sensory ecology, will investigate the neural...
The University of Iowa was awarded a $750,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct research measuring and mathematically modeling ionic transport in auditory systems from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2024. The grant was awarded under the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and enhancing...
This Project Grant award of $346,803 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research at the University of Chicago to test theories on what makes certain stimuli more memorable than others across individuals. The project aims to use converging methods in behavioral experiments, brain imaging, and artificial intelligence to investigate three key theories on memory prioritization: 1) how brain "maps" organize...
This Project Grant award of $199,999 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research effort between the University of Chicago and Swiss partners to advance the understanding of the neural and behavioral underpinnings of working memory. The goal is to clarify the cognitive role of neurally active representations in working memory and examine whether there are specific operations that require...
