Psychological Scientists Win NSF Grants Supporting Integrative Research on Cognition, Neuroscience
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced plans to fund the research of psychological scientists on cognitive science and neuroscience.
APS Fellow Ralph Adolphs (California Institute of Technology) has won an award for his proposal titled “Using fMRI to Revise Psychological Variables.” Psychological scientist Peter Tse (Dartmouth College) and colleagues are receiving support to develop underwater EEG electrodes for octopus research, and psychological scientist Carolyn M. Parkinson (University of California, Los Angeles) is being funded for her work to examine how real-world interaction networks shape neural information processing.
These scientists and several other groups are being supported by an interdisciplinary effort called the NSF Integrative Strategies for Understanding Neural Cognitive Systems (NCS) program.
“The NCS program supports innovative, boundary-crossing efforts to push the frontiers of brain science,” says NSF.
NCS’s efforts are supported jointly by NSF’s Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences directorate, a main funder of psychological science research; and three of NSF’s other directorates.
