- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $500,000 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to understand how the brain supports decision-making processes. The three-year grant, awarded under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to identify neural features that provide information about the decision-making process, build decoders to predict decisions, and develop a closed-loop...
- The National Science Foundation SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $827,113 on August 1, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to develop computational cognitive models of open-ended decision making. The project combines laboratory and online experiments with choice-process measures—eye tracking, mouse tracking, and response times—to study how people make decisions when they generate options...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Multidisciplinary Activities awarded the University of Washington $1,942,525 on September 1, 2026, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to conduct research on how the brain learns and updates associations between sensory cues, actions, and outcomes while maintaining perceptual and motor stability. The project measures activity across thousands of individual neurons in mice as they perform operant decision-making and...
- 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...
