Project Grant 2508756
- This $721,141 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program aims to improve understanding of how humans perceive and are aware of time, a crucial aspect of everyday life. The award to George Mason University will conduct a series of experiments using electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and computational modeling to investigate...
- This Project Grant award of $346,803, provided by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), supports research at the University of Chicago to test theories underlying what makes certain stimuli more memorable than others. The project aims to understand the underlying brain mechanisms that determine what information is prioritized for storage in human memory. The research utilizes behavioral experiments, brain imaging, and artificial...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $282,603 supports research into time and episodic memory being conducted at Washington University in University City, Missouri from September 2022 through August 2023. The research investigates how the capacity for remembering past personal experiences contributes to one's sense of time and understanding of the past, present and future. Specifically, the project studies temporal cognition in individuals with episodic amnesia to learn how episodic...
- The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania were awarded a three-year, $539,985 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences. The grant will support research from October 2021 through September 2024 to further understanding of the neural mechanisms that enable remarkable visual fidelity in visual recognition memory. This award falls under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The program aims to advance...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $519,793 will fund research into visual working memory representations at the University of California, San Diego from July 2022 to June 2025. The award is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which supports basic research in cognitive sciences. The research will test theories of how visual working memory holds probabilistic information about object features rather than single values. Using...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $208,090 Project Grant to Purdue University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The grant is for a 3-year project from August 2024 to July 2027 focused on building a conceptual framework for understanding the "engram" - the neural mechanisms underlying memory retention and recall. The project will employ methods from biology, history, and philosophy of science to develop an updated, expanded...
- This three-year 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), provides $475,715 to Vanderbilt University to advance understanding of how visual long-term memory guides visual attention and perception. The researchers will use electroencephalography to record brain activity from participants searching for objects in cluttered scenes. Analyses will reveal whether brain...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $322,971 project grant to Northeastern University for research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: EMERGENT MOTOR TIMING INFLUENCES PERCEPTUAL TIMING." The award period is from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant is being administered under the NSF's Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which supports basic research and education in these fields. Specifically, the funding will support collaborative...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of Multidisciplinary Activities, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate how humans use detailed memories of past experiences to make adaptive decisions when facing uncertain futures. The $160,000 award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2027, will fund research conducted by an early career scientist under the sponsorship of...
- This $234,610 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports collaborative research at Colgate University to study how the brain uses visual and linguistic information to achieve specific goals. The research aims to advance theories of human cognition and develop more adaptive, human-aligned artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Key project activities include training deep neural networks to predict...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $734,430 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to George Mason University to explore how the brain processes the perception of time and memorability in visual perception. The project aims to understand the neural mechanisms underlying the relationship between memorable images and the perception of time, with potential applications for improving treatments for conditions like Alzheimer's, autism, and schizophrenia, as well as advancing artificial intelligence systems. The research team will conduct behavioral experiments, brain imaging, eye tracking, and computer modeling to investigate how memorable images are perceived as lasting longer in time compared to forgettable ones. The project is expected to run from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2029.
