- The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded $631,649 to the University of California, Davis on July 1, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to fund research on human attention disengagement from visual distractions. The research evaluates competing theories of how humans successfully disengage attention from irrelevant visual distractions—such as billboards while driving—and redirect focus to task-relevant...
- This Project Grant award of $910,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences supports research on the "Mechanisms of Willed Attention" at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). This research, under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to investigate the brain mechanisms that enable humans to voluntarily direct their attention, especially in the absence of external cues. Using...
- 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...
- This $382,535 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Yale University to develop understanding of attention in preschool-aged children. The Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences award falls under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which promotes basic research and education in these fields. Specifically, the two-year project will investigate the emergence of selective and sustained attention to socially relevant audiovisual...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded $700,000 to Trustees of Tufts College on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to advance non-invasive brain-computer interfaces using functional near-infrared spectroscopy.
