This $1,200,000 Project Grant was awarded on August 15, 2023 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Information and Intelligent Systems under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The grant supports research at The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to develop computer vision algorithms that can accurately estimate biomechanical data like body pose, motion, and forces from video data alone. This will enable the observation of human...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $488,904 to Thomas Jefferson University (Sidney Kimmel Medical College) to conduct research on how the brain combines sensory predictions and feedback to estimate the body's state and movement. The research aims to elucidate the neurocognitive processes underlying how humans perceive and adapt their movements in dynamic environments, which has relevance...
The National Science Foundation awarded The Pennsylvania State University a $249,608 Project Grant under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) federal grant program (CFDA 47.076) to study the functional and neural mechanisms of integrating multiple artificial somatosensory feedback signals in prosthesis control. Through May 2023 to June 2024, Penn State researchers will examine how the human brain integrates different sources of artificially evoked sensations when...
This $500,000 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), will fund the development of an automated coaching system for teaching human motion skills. Dartmouth College, with sub-awardee Columbia University, will receive funding from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The system will use recorded expert demonstrations and sensed actions from learners to identify...
This $600,407 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into principles of intelligent sensorimotor behavior under informational constraints from September 2021 through August 2024.
