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 $225,307 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program aims to investigate how the brain extracts meaning from sounds and integrates auditory information with other senses, primarily vision. The project will test the "Auditory Semantic Alignment Hypothesis" using fMRI to understand how cortical areas process different categories of sounds and pass that information to broader semantic networks....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $450,028 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on statistical inference in the auditory system. The project aims to develop a theoretical framework for understanding how the brain tracks and makes sense of complex, uncertain auditory information in real-world environments. Using computational modeling, behavioral experiments, and neurophysiological...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $422,562 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to study attentional and multisensory modulation of the human subcortical auditory system. The 3-year project aims to understand how the lower brain areas in the auditory pathway interact with higher auditory cortical regions when communicating in noisy environments. The research will employ...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $320,000 in funding to Northeastern University to conduct research on the neurocognitive development of adolescent learning. The goal is to understand the cognitive and brain mechanisms related to learning from experience, and how these change from childhood to adolescence and young adulthood. The project will use behavioral, computational, and neuroimaging...
The National Science Foundation awarded New York University a $495,472 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) for work on "Audiomotor Speech Rhythms and Their Perceptual Consequences" from March 1, 2021 to February 29, 2024. The grant will fund research into how rhythmic patterns in speech production relate to speech perception. As the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program aims to support basic research that contributes to...
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 $755,461 Project Grant under the SBE-UKRI Lead Agency Opportunity (CFDA 47.075 Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) to The University of Iowa for the project "Neural Mechanisms for Auditory Memory Sequencing and Prediction." This binational, collaborative research aims to better understand memory and prediction in the human and non-human primate brain. The project will directly compare cross-species data on auditory processing and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $550,299 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, to conduct research on the transfer of statistical learning from speech perception to production. The project aims to understand the mechanisms by which the brain coordinates listening and speaking, even when changes are subtle and not consciously identifiable. Preliminary data...

This $250,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on the role of the cortico-striatal system in implicit sound category learning. The project aims to investigate how rhythmic presentation of new sound categories can engage the brain's implicit, reward-based learning system to enhance adults' ability to learn new speech sounds. Using a combination of behavioral tasks, electroencephalography (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and noninvasive brain stimulation, the research seeks to develop a neurobiological model of implicit learning for sound categories and identify ways to promote neuroplasticity in the mature brain. The award, which runs from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2030, will be carried out by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) at Binghamton University. The project also includes student training and community outreach efforts to communicate the science to local schools, language classes, and science centers.
