Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded $775,500 to Washington University in collaboration with partner institutions on July 15, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to support collaborative neuroscience research extending through June 30, 2030. This Project Grant funds research investigating single-neuron computational mechanisms underlying visual object coding and memory formation in the human brain. The research deliverables include empirical findings from intracranial single-neuron recordings collected from neurosurgical patients with epilepsy as they perform visual working memory and recognition memory tasks, coupled with advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and deep-learning-based computational modeling to characterize neural coding frameworks for visual object representation in the medial temporal lobe. The project generates scientific products including novel insights into how individual brain cells mediate the transition between visual perception and memory formation, comparative analyses of competing neural coding models, quantitative assessments of how visual feature encoding contributes to semantic representations and memory performance, and methodological advances in applying AI to human neuroscience data. Additionally, the award supports broader educational and research community products through open data sharing initiatives, interdisciplinary collaboration infrastructure, and training in cutting-edge brain research methods across multiple institutions, including support for research capacity-building in an EPSCoR (Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) state.
