The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $341,347 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to conduct research on the principles that underlie efficient visual search behaviors. The project will use behavior, eye-tracking, virtual reality, brain activity, and computational modeling techniques to investigate two key stages of visual search processing: attentional guidance to select potential targets, and decision-making that emphasizes accuracy over speed. The goal is to understand how the brain organizes these processes to enable efficient visual search, which is critical for many everyday tasks. In addition to the scientific research, the project will support the training and professional development of undergraduate students. The project period runs from March 15, 2025 to February 29, 2028.
