This federal Project Grant award of $979,134 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) will fund a multi-year research effort by New York University (NYU) to develop a new multi-scale theoretical framework for analyzing neural representations and computations. The project aims to: 1) characterize how single neuron tuning properties shape the geometric structure of neural population activities, 2) utilize machine learning approaches to model how neural representations are transformed across brain regions and during task learning, and 3) apply the manifold capacity theory as a design principle for building artificial neural network models of the brain. This research seeks to provide new quantitative tools and theoretical principles for understanding how the brain implements behavioral and cognitive tasks, with potential applications across diverse neuroscience domains. The award commenced on August 1, 2024 and is scheduled for completion by May 31, 2027.
