Summary George Mason University received a $605,286 CAREER Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Multidisciplinary Activities under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), awarded July 15, 2026, with completion targeted for June 30, 2031. The project, titled "CORTEX: Next-Generation Computing with Brain-Inspired Resilient, Transformative, and Explainable Intelligence," delivers a computational framework that translates neuroscience principles into artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms designed to reduce data dependency, energy consumption, and computing resource requirements compared to conventional AI systems. The research framework is organized around three primary research aims: development of hippocampus-inspired learning algorithms that capture temporal relationships and enable real-time adaptability (Aim 1); creation of neuron-diversity-inspired algorithms that enhance energy efficiency and robustness (Aim 2); and design of retina-inspired computing modules for fast visual perception through sparse feature extraction (Aim 3). The project provides computational testbeds to examine hypotheses regarding cortical computation, sensory encoding, and memory formation. The grant includes integrated educational components extending across K-12, undergraduate, and graduate levels to introduce students to the interdisciplinary connections among AI, neuroscience, and computing, thereby building workforce capacity in brain-inspired computing research and development.
