This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $225,307 provides funding to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct research on semantic alignment between auditory processing and multimodal lexical-semantic networks. The research aims to understand how the brain extracts meaning from sounds and integrates this with processing from other senses, primarily vision. The project also includes plans for advanced training of graduate students and post-doctoral scholars in empirical, analytical, and modeling approaches. The award period runs from March 15, 2025 to February 29, 2028 and includes planned subawards. The research has the potential to improve understanding of how cortical responses support perception and adaptation to dynamic natural environments.
