This $649,812 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to examine how the brain processes and organizes language input that lacks a temporal sequence, such as rapidly flashed written stimuli. The primary awardee, New York University (NYU), will use magnetoencephalography (MEG) to investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of syntactic and semantic computations when language is conveyed without...
The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $500,000 Project Grant to Boston Children's Hospital to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NCS-FO: STUDYING LANGUAGE IN THE BRAIN IN THE MODERN MACHINE LEARNING ERA" from September 15, 2021 through August 31, 2025. This award will fund research into studying language acquisition and processing in the brain using modern machine learning techniques, advancing the NSF's STEM Education...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant of $204,593 awarded to The MGH Institute Of Health Professions, Inc. in Boston, MA supports the development of a "challenge suite" - a comprehensive dataset and platform to systematically evaluate and compare different mathematical theories of how humans learn language through unsupervised pattern detection. The key products to be delivered include: 1) A meta-analysis...
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....
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,...
This $208,750 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) will fund research at The General Hospital Corporation (Massachusetts General Hospital) to investigate the role of connectivity between the hippocampus and auditory cortex in comprehending degraded speech. The project will use high-resolution 7 Tesla fMRI to characterize the layer-specific connectivity between these brain regions during listening tasks with varying levels...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $186,479 to Oregon State University to study multilingual speech recognition in the human brain. Researchers will record neural responses from monolingual, bilingual, and trilingual individuals as they listen to speech in languages they understand. They will use tools from computational neuroscience to develop cognitive theories and neural network models...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will provide $250,000 from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028 to New York University (NYU) to study the neural bases of bilingual language production. Through a series of magnetoencephalography (MEG) experiments, the project will examine how the brain processes the use of morphological rules in producing words across multiple languages. The research aims to characterize the...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, supports research into the neural mechanisms underlying statistical learning. The $673,581 grant awarded to New York University School of Medicine will fund investigations into how the hippocampus and cortex interact to enable the acquisition of statistical regularities, from...
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director awarded a $489,500 Project Grant under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to The Children's Hospital Corporation, doing business as Boston Children's Hospital, a premier pediatric medical research and teaching institution. The grant will support a secondary data analysis project to trace longitudinal trajectories of electroencephalogram (EEG) features from 2-24 months that are associated with late talking, as well...
