Brown University received a $911,441 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, 2029. The award funds research investigating how cognitive maps support learning and decision-making in abstract networks. The research team will employ behavioral experiments, computational modeling, and functional neuroimaging to characterize how the human brain represents, stores, retrieves, and updates internal maps of social networks. Key deliverables include empirical findings on network representation mechanisms in the medial temporal lobe and related brain systems, as well as computational models that characterize cognitive strategies for managing information flow through networks. The project enhances STEM education through training opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students in computational methods and neuroscience research design. All research data, analytical tools, and findings will be made publicly available to the broader scientific community. This work is designed to advance fundamental understanding of human cognitive architecture and decision-making processes underlying effective navigation of complex relational environments.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
