The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded The Regents of the University of Colorado $528,146 on September 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The project develops mathematical theory describing how the brain maintains stable yet flexible memory by coordinating rapid electrical activity with slower processes that manage finite cellular resources, including the role of support cells called astrocytes. The research models how distributed resource pools stabilize activity patterns that encode memories, suppress error accumulation, and establish limits on memory duration. Mathematical tools separating fast and slow timescales reduce the full system to interpretable equations predicting memory accuracy and failure. A second component examines how slow resource redistribution learns environmental statistical structure, embedding biases that improve recall. A third identifies control rules that adjust resource transport over extended timescales, optimizing stabilizing capacity placement relative to demand. The broader significance addresses when memory fails and how these principles might guide design of more energy-efficient and adaptive artificial intelligence systems. Performance occurs in Boulder, Colorado from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029. The award is a project grant, an assistance type supporting investigator-initiated research in computing, communications, and information science and engineering.
