- The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded $2.225 million to the Allen Institute on September 1, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) for a collaborative U.S.-Israel research project on decision-making neuroscience. The project builds computational theory connecting brain anatomy, multi-regional neural dynamics, and behavior during decision-making. The research develops recurrent neural network models that...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded the University of Washington $249,652 on September 15, 2026, to develop statistical machine learning tools and theory for inferring brain functional connectivity networks from neuronal spike train data. The project addresses new theoretical and methodological challenges in spectral-domain analysis of high-dimensional point processes derived from live neuronal recordings. Unlike existing time-domain approaches, the...
- The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded The Washington University $775,500 on July 15, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program to investigate single-neuron computational mechanisms of visual object coding and memory in the human brain. The research combines intracranial single-neuron recordings, eye tracking, and computational modeling to test how individual brain cells in the human medial temporal lobe mediate the transition...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded New York University $599,994 on September 1, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to investigate how human brains achieve cognitive efficiency and learn to think through multiple modes including planning, memory retrieval, and reasoning. The project, which runs through August 31, 2031, tests the theory that diverse human deliberation strategies emerge from a general principle...
- The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded the University of New Hampshire $511,753 on July 15, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to investigate how the brain learns structured categories from multisensory stimuli. The research compares category learning outcomes when subjects encounter auditory, visual, and combined stimuli that are redundant, conflicting, or ambiguous. The work tests two competing theoretical...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded the Trustees of Boston University $1,035,226 on August 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate how populations of neurons across multiple brain areas coordinate to mediate flexible decision-making—the process of combining sensory evidence and context to select appropriate actions toward behavioral goals. The research examines neural dynamics underlying perceptual...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded the University of Oregon $765,147 on August 1, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to examine the neural mechanisms underlying how novelty drives information seeking and long-term memory formation. The project investigates why individuals vary in their approach to seeking new information—some driven by purposeful goals, others compulsively—and how the brain evaluates novelty...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded The University of Chicago $715,655 on October 1, 2025, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate how multiple brain regions coordinate to support task switching and cognitive flexibility. The research examines a cortex-basal forebrain loop that enables task-specific reorganization of brain activity patterns, contrasting two competing models: an intracortical model in which the cerebral...
