This Project Grant award of $910,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences supports research on the "Mechanisms of Willed Attention" at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). This research, under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to investigate the brain mechanisms that enable humans to voluntarily direct their attention, especially in the absence of external cues. Using...
The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded $670,000 under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075) to Vanderbilt University for the period of August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025. The award will support research examining the theoretical connections between attention and memory through the development of new experimental procedures and computational models. Specifically, the grantee will adapt the Eriksen flanker...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $475,715 to Vanderbilt University to advance understanding of how visual long-term memory guides visual attention and perception. The researchers will use electroencephalography to record brain activity from participants searching for objects in cluttered scenes. Analyses will reveal whether brain...
This $325,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research at the University of Chicago to investigate the role of different memory systems in guiding decision-making for novel choices. The research team plans to leverage eye-tracking, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), computational modeling, and patient populations to characterize how "rigid" and "flexible"...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $341,347 to the University of California, Davis to conduct research on attentional guidance and decision-making during visual search tasks. The project aims to understand the organizing principles that enable efficient visual search, using a combination of behavioral, eye-tracking, virtual reality, brain activity, and computational modeling approaches. Key focus areas...
The University of Chicago was awarded a $499,999 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation on May 1, 2021 to complete work by April 30, 2024. The grant is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to promote basic research and education in these fields. Under the award, the University will predict attention fluctuations and their consequences for memory from functional brain connectivity. The research will contribute to scientific...
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 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...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $346,803 to the University of Chicago to conduct research testing theories on what determines the memorability of stimuli such as images, words, and voices. The project aims to understand the shared mechanisms across people that determine what information is stored in memory. This will be investigated through behavioral experiments, brain...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $440,837 to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, for a 2-year research project titled "CAREER: The Vital Role of Motivation in Cognition". The project investigates the neural and computational mechanisms underlying how people make decisions about exerting mental effort to achieve...
