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 (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 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 federal Project Grant award of $398,554, 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 a multi-year research project to investigate the neural computations underlying communication sound recognition in rodents and primates.
The project aims to determine whether the selective encoding of intermediate complexity features, which has been shown as a...
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...
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), provides $1,230,424.86 to investigate the cellular diversity within the superior olivary complex (SOC) in the brainstem that supports sound localization. The principal investigator and their team at Northeast Ohio Medical University will examine how different neuronal cell types within the...
This $193,750 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 on the neural dynamics and circuits in the auditory cortex that enable implicit learning of complex sounds in mice. The project aims to identify the specific neural mechanisms and causal links between neuronal characteristics and implicit auditory learning by...
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...
This Project Grant award of $111,313.00 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), supports research to investigate aging-related deficits in auditory temporal fidelity and spatial hearing abilities. The award recipient, The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as University of Colorado-Denver, will conduct this research from Sep 30, 2024 through...
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 project aims to use behavioral and neurophysiological experiments in budgerigars (parakeets) to explore the neural mechanisms underlying the "modulation filterbank" - a theoretical model that explains how human listeners perceive sounds with competing amplitude...
