This federal Project Grant award for $193,750 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under CFDA Program 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders will fund research into the neural dynamics and circuits in the auditory cortex that enable implicit learning of complex sounds. The award to The Johns Hopkins University will support a 3-year investigation using two-photon calcium imaging and optogenetics in awake mice to identify...
This $521,432 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders federal grant program (CFDA 93.173), supports the development of a new computational model of the human auditory subcortex. The model will integrate aspects of binaural processing and efferent gain control to investigate how these factors influence the perception of complex sounds, including speech intelligibility,...
This federal Project Grant award for $1,841,384.00 was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The grant supports research to determine how cholinergic signaling influences auditory processing in the inferior colliculus, a critical center for sound processing in the brain. The primary goals are to: 1) characterize the cellular and synaptic mechanisms of...
This federal Project Grant award of $147,486.00 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) will support research to understand the neural mechanisms underlying recovery of sound localization abilities in mice after unilateral hearing loss.

This $589,393 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), supports research to elucidate how the neural circuit of the mammalian cochlea assembles during development. The primary objectives are to investigate the roles of inner and outer hair cells, and their innervation by afferent and efferent neurons, in the formation and maturation of the...
This federal Project Grant award under CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders, awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), will fund a $477,660 research project to investigate age-related brain differences that affect speech recognition in noise for older adults. The research aims to characterize how slower evidence accumulation and more cautious decision criteria in older adults contribute to their poorer understanding...
This Project Grant award in the amount of $693,856 was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The grant will fund research at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to investigate the structure and function of coordinated neural activity in the auditory system of awake mice. The research will use high-density electrophysiology, optogenetics,...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a 5-year, $398,554 Project Grant (CFDA 93.173) to the University of Pittsburgh to investigate the neural computations underlying communication sound recognition in rodents and primates. The research will determine if the selective encoding of intermediate complexity sound features observed in rodents is also present in non-human primates, and how this feature selectivity develops with learning. The project...
This federal Project Grant award of $147,486 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) supports research to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying spatial auditory attention. The project will examine how magnified interaural level differences (ILDs) can improve sound source segregation and spatial selection in both normal-hearing listeners and bilateral...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $573,385 Project Grant (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) to the University of Rochester. The award will support research to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying the "modulation filterbank" - a theoretical model that explains how humans perceive amplitude modulation in complex auditory environments. The project aims to establish the budgerigar, a parakeet...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), will support research to determine the circuit and physiological mechanisms underlying auditory contextual processing and perceptual adaptation. The $137,305 award to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania will fund a 2-year project investigating how top-down connections from the auditory cortex modulate responses in the auditory midbrain and thalamus to enable flexible, context-dependent processing of degraded sounds. The research will utilize a combination of behavioral, electrophysiological, imaging, and computational modeling approaches to reveal the neural mechanisms enabling adaptive auditory processing in challenging listening conditions. The findings could elucidate generalizable principles about adaptive sensory processing and behavior.
