Neuroscience of Category Learning Consortium
State University of New Jersey-Rutgers, Newark, New Jersey
Principal Investigators: Stephen J. Hanson, Catherine Hanson and Paul
Kantor
Funded for three years to support the development of approaches for acquiring
functional brain imaging data from subjects engaged in cognitive tasks
designed to reveal the dynamic aspect of the spatial-temporal interactions
among brain regions.
University of California-Berkeley, Berkeley, California
Principal Investigator: Mimi Koehl
Funded for three years for collaborative study of how the physical distribution
of sensory stimuli in the environment is represented in an organism's
nervous system.
The grants listed below, while not strictly "collaborative activities" as described on the JSMF website, were awarded by the Foundation following external review of invited proposal submissions. These projects either represent unusual opportunities for JSMF to support projects relevant to the Foundation's program development or they present ways for JSMF to support research of fundamental importance the topical areas supported by the 21st Century Science Initiative.
Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Principal Investigator: Richard Scheines
Funded for two years to develop a web-based course on statistics and causal
reasoning that can be used by universities and colleges around the world.
University of West Florida Foundation, Pensacola, Florida
Principal Investigator: David Danks
Funding for a one year planning grant to investigate applications of Bayesian
statistics to social and behavioral sciences.
Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri
Co-Principal Investigators: Jeff.
W. Lichtman and Joshua
R. Sanes
Funded for three years to establish new ways of studying neural connectivity
in transgenic mice models.
