This federal Project Grant award of $409,139 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) supports research to uncover the computational, behavioral, and neural mechanisms that regulate the switching between active sensing and goal-directed task control modes in animal movement. The project, led by researchers at The Johns Hopkins University, aims to develop computational models and theoretical tools to understand how and why animals switch between these distinct behavioral modes, as well as conduct experiments to quantify the influence of sensory salience and feedback on mode switching and control strategies. Neurophysiological recordings will also be performed to identify the neural correlates of locomotor control policies and mode switching. This multidisciplinary effort integrates control theory, machine learning, and neuroscience to reveal the computational strategies underlying the regulation of active sensing and task control. The project has the potential to transform our understanding of biological motor control and advance strategies for movement control in complex environments.
