Project Grant 2522215
- 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 (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award provides $160,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral fellowship investigation into how sleep facilitates the integration of new and existing memories. The goal is to understand the brain mechanisms that enable this integration process, which is critical for building knowledge from new information encountered in daily life. The study will use electroencephalography (EEG),...
- 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 $120,276 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund a collaborative research project to enhance episodic memory through the integration of real-world brain recording, stimulation, and perception data. The key objectives are to: Synchronize human experience data from various IoT sensors with neuronal activity recordings to understand how brain patterns relate to real-world experiences. Leverage...
- This $850,000 Project Grant award, funded jointly by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems and Division of Information and Intelligent Systems under CFDA 47.070 Computer and Information Science and Engineering, supports research to understand how sleep and memory are connected in the brain. The project will use long-duration, high-resolution recordings of neuronal activity to observe changes in synaptic connections during sleep and memory tasks,...
- This federal Project Grant award of $604,425.00 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program aims to determine how the brain's memory systems help prevent competition and promote cooperation between memories to guide attention. The research, led by the University of California, Berkeley, will investigate the role of the hippocampus in minimizing confusion between similar memories and accurately directing attention, with potential...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $457,860 to the University of California, Irvine to conduct research on how memory consolidation is influenced by multiple nights of sleep. The project aims to examine how memory benefits change over time and with multiple sleep events, determine if sleep plays a prolonged role in retaining the weakest memories, and reveal constraints on multi-night memory...
- The National Science Foundation awarded $500,000 under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to the University of California, San Francisco for a project grant titled "Understanding Mechanisms of Semantic Memory through Intracranial Recording and Stimulation." The three-year project, running from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025, will utilize intracranial electroencephalography recordings from awake epilepsy patients to decipher how neural...
- This Project Grant award of $199,999 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research effort between the University of Chicago and Swiss partners to advance the understanding of the neural and behavioral underpinnings of working memory. The goal is to clarify the cognitive role of neurally active representations in working memory and examine whether there are specific operations that require...
- 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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $619,000 to the University of Utah to examine how the brain processes and consolidates different types of memories. Specifically, the research will investigate how learning across memory domains with similar structures (e.g., motor sequence learning and object sequence learning) can be leveraged to improve long-term memory formation. The project utilizes neuroimaging techniques like MRI and EEG to understand the underlying brain mechanisms. In addition to the scientific research, the award supports public engagement activities, including workshops for K-12 students and mentored research experiences for undergraduate trainees. This work has the potential to inform new approaches for enhancing memory consolidation and has translational applications for addressing memory-related challenges.
