$8M+ Annual Funding: Unraveling the Brain's Sensorimotor Integration
2025-04-26
The Simons Collaboration on Ecological Neuroscience (SCENE) launches with over $8 million in annual funding to investigate how the brain efficiently integrates sensory and motor information. This interdisciplinary project, uniting leading neuroscientists and machine learning experts, leverages principles of ecological psychology, focusing on how the brain encodes affordances – opportunities for action in the environment. Research will span multiple species, from rodents and bats to humans, aiming to uncover fundamental principles of cognition and bridge gaps in our understanding of the brain.
