The National Science Foundation's Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded $683,669 to the University of Nevada, Reno (via the Board of Regents of Nevada System of Higher Education) on July 1, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to investigate cortical traveling waves in memory-guided behaviors through June 30, 2029. The project delivers basic neuroscience research examining whether traveling waves—specific patterns of brain electrical activity—serve as communication channels linking memory storage regions in the brain with regions controlling physical responses. Using non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG) recordings, researchers will conduct controlled experiments with healthy adult participants performing memory tasks to identify and characterize the functional roles of distinct traveling waves propagating between occipital and frontal cortex regions, with the goal of understanding how the brain converts memories into actions. The project produces multiple deliverables with practical applications across clinical diagnostics and artificial intelligence development. Research outputs include foundational knowledge applicable to diagnosing and treating cognitive and motor disorders associated with aging, schizophrenia, and Parkinson's disease, as well as insights informing more energy-efficient artificial intelligence architectures. Additionally, the award supports the training of graduate students in advanced neuroscience methods to strengthen the STEM workforce, with all data and software generated made freely available to the public to maximize the research impact and accessibility of findings.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
