The University of Chicago received a $409,638 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), awarded October 1, 2025, with completion targeted for October 31, 2026. This award supports collaborative research between Columbia University and the University of Pittsburgh to investigate traveling waves in the human cortex—rhythmic patterns of neuronal activity hypothesized to enable flexible brain reorganization and task-directed behavior. The research team will directly measure traveling waves from the human brain using surgically implanted electrodes in collaboration with neurosurgeons, then develop computational models to test theories about wave propagation mechanisms and directional changes in response to different behavioral tasks. Beyond fundamental neuroscience contributions, the project delivers practical outputs with applications to brain-computer interface development and treatment of neurological disorders characterized by disrupted neuronal interactions. The award includes educational and outreach components providing neuroscience methodology training for undergraduate and graduate trainees in the New York City and Pittsburgh regions, as well as establishing a monthly open-access discussion forum for scientific issues related to traveling waves. These integrated research, translational, and educational deliverables position the work to advance understanding of healthy brain function while informing clinical approaches to neurological disease.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
