This Project Grant award of $425,875.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports research at The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) to develop novel computational and statistical methods for analyzing high-dimensional neural and behavioral data.

The key objectives of this 5-year project are to: 1) develop state space models (SSMs) to better understand how brain activity changes across contexts and can be modulated in real-time; 2) create similar SSM methods to quantitatively capture how behavior is shaped by modulatory inputs and evolves over time; and 3) leverage advanced deep learning techniques to advance brain-computer interface technologies. This research aims to provide new insights into how the brain produces natural behavior by linking neural activity to behavioral output using state-of-the-art data analysis approaches.
