The federal Project Grant award R21DC021557 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 $464,268 award to the Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) will support research to examine sensorimotor processing and neural mechanisms underlying speech production in adults who stutter compared to those who do not stutter. The key focus...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by 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 on the neural mechanisms underlying speech perception in the human brain. The $579,622 award, with a project period from May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2029, will support studies aimed at understanding whether neural computations in the cortex are primarily yoked...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) to Yale University will test a new model of speech motor learning and retention. The $1,370,652 award, effective from August 1, 2024 to May 31, 2029, will conduct experiments to determine the causal involvement of auditory, somatosensory, and motor cortical plasticity in the retention of new speech learning. The research...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences supports research at the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying speech production. The project aims to generate a functional map of the brain systems that enable fluent speech, with the goal of improving diagnosis and treatment of speech production deficits.
The $965,471 award, effective August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2026,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, is funding research focused on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying speech planning and their relationship to speech disorders in Parkinson's disease (PD).
The $163,184 award, spanning May 2025 to April 2027, will support an investigation into how the function of the caudal...
This federal Project Grant award of $204,592 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under CFDA 93.173 "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" aims to develop a bilingual speech neuroprosthesis. The project will study cortical activity patterns in bilingual speakers to understand how language-specific and shared representations underlie lexical access and articulation. Researchers at the University of California, San...
This $1,375,348 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 fund a study on the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) combined with constraint-induced language therapy to treat post-stroke aphasia in the subacute stage. The study will assess the effects of continuous theta burst stimulation TMS and a modified form of...
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 examine the neural basis of speech impairments in individuals with 16p11.2 deletion syndrome. The total award amount is $696,836, with a period of performance from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2030.
The primary objectives are to:
Enroll participants...
This $300,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070). The grant aims to advance brain-machine interface technology for restoring speech communication abilities to individuals who have lost the ability to speak due to conditions like ALS, stroke, or traumatic brain injury.
The key focus of the 5-year project is to develop improved neural speech decoders that can...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the federal Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), will investigate the relationship between speech perceptual learning and speech production in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). The $201,250 award, spanning 2025-2027, aims to determine how challenges with speech perception or learning can predict individual differences in speech...
