- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $576,027 to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct research on how the brain extracts meaning from sounds and integrates auditory information with other sensory inputs. The key objectives of the project are to test the "auditory semantic alignment hypothesis" using fMRI to understand the cortical areas responsible for auditory processing...
- This $401,918 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research by the University of Rochester to investigate neural mechanisms underlying how the brain processes complex sounds like speech and music across different timescales. The key objectives are to use computational models and neural recordings from auditory cortex to understand the brain's flexible integration of sound information over...
- This $450,028 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research into statistical inference in the auditory system. The project, conducted by The Johns Hopkins University, explores how the brain extracts and organizes auditory information from complex, dynamic soundscapes. The research aims to develop a theoretical framework for statistical inference in auditory processing, supported by behavioral and...
- This $532,250 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research on how the brain's reward system can be leveraged to enhance adults' ability to learn new speech sounds. The 5-year project, awarded to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY), will investigate whether rhythmic presentation of new sound categories can engage the implicit, reward-based cortico-striatal learning...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083), provides $216,154 to Kansas State University to study the impacts of auditory perceptual learning on working memory skills and cortical dynamics. The grant aims to examine how changes in the brain from auditory training influence memory performance, with plans to measure the effects of trained vs. untrained sounds on working memory fidelity, inhibition, and mental effort....
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $124,539 to support research examining the links between perception and production of second language speech sounds over time. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the two-year award to the University of Texas at Austin will lay the foundation for developing a comprehensive model of second language sound learning. Researchers will train...
- This Project Grant award of $1,999,999.00, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports research inspired by auditory perception in the human brain. The project aims to develop mathematical models to describe neural computations underlying the brain's remarkable ability to focus attention and enhance specific auditory signals while suppressing surrounding noise - a phenomenon known as the Cocktail Party Problem. The research involves engineering...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $550,299 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, to conduct research on the transfer of statistical learning from speech perception to production. The project aims to understand the mechanisms by which the brain coordinates listening and speaking, even when changes are subtle and not consciously identifiable. Preliminary data...
- This $340,144 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) will fund research at the University of Oregon to investigate how people adapt to different speech accents. The project combines computational modeling and behavioral experiments to test a theory of learned selective attention, examining how listeners shift their focus to different acoustic cues to improve speech understanding across speakers. Key objectives...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075), provides $533,853 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for research on the perception and cognition of sound texture. The investigators will develop a computational framework to understand the properties of environmental noises that underlie human perception. This involves assembling a large dataset...
