This Project Grant award of $424,997 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports research to develop a computational model of spatial navigation using neural data from animal experiments. The researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) will investigate how the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex interact to facilitate navigation, learning, and decision-making in large, complex environments....
This Project Grant award of $329,099 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports research by The Johns Hopkins University to uncover the principles of robust intelligence by disentangling the functional architecture of the brain. The project aims to develop new models to understand how brain computation is distributed across neural and glial systems to support flexible and adaptive behaviors like navigation and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) award totaling $186,772 provides funding to Rutgers, The State University from January 1, 2025 to October 31, 2025 to develop a data-driven, systemic model of hippocampal spatial learning. The research aims to establish a computational framework that can link experimental observations of individual neurons and synapses to the emergent cognitive outcomes of spatial...
This $300,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) will support research to develop new analytical tools to understand how the brain processes and routes sensory information in response to changes in the environment. The project, titled "CONTEXTUAL GATING OF INFORMATION FLOW IN LARGE-SCALE BRAIN NETWORK MODELS," will integrate existing datasets on large-scale neural activity and...
This four-year, $1.2 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program aims to advance robotic mapping and navigation capabilities using semantic maps and spatial reasoning based on visual inputs and language instructions. Funded through the Division of Information and Intelligent Systems, the research seeks to enable robots to learn to predict maps of unseen environments using active learning techniques. It also focuses on...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports a research project that introduces a novel approach for robots to navigate in unknown environments. The $202,082 award to Trustees of Boston University aims to develop high-level reasoning techniques that allow robots to understand and navigate environments using structured elements like rooms and doors, instead of relying on detailed...
This $182,700 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by George Mason University to develop an axiomatic framework that explains the emergence of geometric patterns in the activity of grid cells. Grid cells are important for spatial navigation and create a grid-like map of the environment. The project aims to identify the rules governing grid cell activity, how this activity gives rise to grid-like...
This federal Project Grant award of $147,656 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under CFDA Program 93.853 - Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders supports research to investigate how the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) flexibly transforms spatial representations to guide behavior. The research team at The Leland Stanford Junior University will densely record neural activity and behavioral dynamics in freely-moving mice...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $457,378 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Trustees of Dartmouth College. The grant, awarded on February 15, 2025, will support research to uncover principles of how the brain's hippocampus learns from experience and applies that learning to novel situations. The investigators will build a new experimental setup to precisely monitor brain activity of mice during a cognitive learning task involving discrete odor...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), aims to decipher how neural circuits in fruit flies extract and preprocess visual features for navigation. The $350,000 award, spanning from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2030, will investigate the anterior visual pathway that encodes the fly's sense of direction, with the goal of developing anatomically and experimentally supported...
