This 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), is funding research to investigate the structure and function of coordinated neural activity in the auditory system of mice. The $693,856 award will support the use of high-channel-count electrophysiology, optogenetics, and behavioral techniques to identify and analyze coordinated neural ensembles...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $218,068, was provided by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) program. The grant will fund the development of a new computational model of the human auditory subcortex that integrates aspects of binaural processing and efferent gain control. The model aims to simulate neural responses and predict human behavioral performance in...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $417,741 Project Grant (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop computational models that replicate human auditory abilities. The objectives are to build models that can perform tasks like sound recognition and localization, and then evaluate the models' performance compared to humans, especially in the presence 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 provide $224,094 to New York University School of Medicine to conduct research on the cortical role for skilled, sound-guided behavior in mice. The award period runs from September 1, 2024 to March 31, 2027. The research aims to advance understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying...
This $502,742 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), supports research by Duke University to investigate how the piriform cortex in the mammalian brain encodes and represents olfactory information. The research aims to uncover fundamental principles of sensory processing by examining the neural mechanisms underlying how the piriform...
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 federal Project Grant award of $221,484 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 investigate the physiological roles of the medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent pathways and their impact on hearing in noise.
The key objectives are to explore the role of the inferior colliculus input to the MOC system, examine the relative contribution...
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), totaling $151,568, will support research on the neural mechanisms of auditory perception in the primate superior colliculus. The funded project aims to determine the role of the superior colliculus in establishing decision criteria for spatial and non-spatial auditory perception using a...
This is a Project Grant award of $194,400 from 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 at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary to investigate the roles of perineuronal nets and microglia in the dysfunction of parvalbumin-positive interneurons following sensorineural hearing loss. The research aims to examine chronic perineuronal net...
This Project Grant award, 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), supports research to investigate the circuit and physiological mechanisms underlying auditory contextual processing and perceptual adaptation. The total funding for this award is $137,305, spanning the project period from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2026. The project aims to 1) determine how...
