The University of Alabama at Birmingham received a $645,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) 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, 2030. This collaborative research project investigates single-neuron computational mechanisms underlying visual object coding and memory formation in the human brain. The research team will conduct intracranial single-neuron recordings and eye-tracking studies with neurosurgical epilepsy patients performing visual working memory and recognition memory tasks. Using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and deep-learning analytical methods, the project will test novel region-based feature coding frameworks for visual object representation and quantify how visual feature encoding contributes to category selectivity, semantic representations, memory performance, and image memorability. The research deliverables include scientific advances in understanding how individual brain cells in the medial temporal lobe mediate the transition between visual perception and memory, with potential applications to memory disorders and conditions involving altered perception and cognition. The project also emphasizes education and training outcomes through open data sharing, interdisciplinary collaboration, and neuroscience training across multiple institutions, including an Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) state. Findings from this NSF-funded basic research are expected to contribute to broader knowledge of neural coding mechanisms relevant to cognitive science and behavioral research supported by the NSF's social, behavioral, and economic sciences portfolio.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
