项目摘要

Non-Technical DescriptionThis Research Infrastructure Improvement Track-2 Focused EPSCoR Collaboration (RII Track-2 FEC) proposal is a collaboration between four institutions in New Hampshire, Montana, Nevada, and Rhode Island, namely Dartmouth College, Montana State University, the University of Nevada Reno, and Brown University. The project will develop a greater understanding of attention, which is important to society in multiple ways, including the promotion of worker productivity, driver safety, and vigilance of military and security personnel. The ultimate goal of the project is to develop a unified model of attention that applies across multiple domains, from single cells to large brain circuits. The project will assemble the world?s largest consortium of scientists focused on creating a unified understanding of attention, including seven neurophysiologists, five cognitive neuroscientists, one modeler, and one neurologist. Other goals of the project are to develop lasting collaborations and promote future grant proposals, build research and industrial pipelines for neuroscience trainees, foster the professional development of junior faculty, and extend educational opportunities to traditionally disadvantaged groups, including Native Americans and low socio-economic status students.Technical DescriptionThe project will investigate the neural basis of attention at micro- and macroscopic scales, using a diverse array of brain imaging methods, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and electrocardiography (EcoG), in humans and monkeys. The research will be divided into four themes: 1) Neurophysiological effects of attention on multi-unit patterns and rates of neural firing, 2) The relationship of attention to working memory, 3) Large-scale cortical dynamics of attention, and 4) Tying data together via micro- and macro-circuit models of attention. Three female junior faculty participants will lead a yearly conference for female and under-represented minority (URM) graduate students, post-docs and junior faculty to foster mentoring and career development. The project will also include outreach to middle and high schools, including the development of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) targeting K-12 science teachers.

非技术描述这项研究基础设施改进Track-2集中EPSCOR合作（RII Track-2 FEC）提案是新罕布什尔州，蒙大拿州，内华达州的四个机构与内华达州立大学，内华达州立大学，内华达州立大学，内华达州立大学的四个机构，内华达州蒙大拿州，内华达州罗德岛州。该项目将对关注的更多了解，这对社会对多种方式很重要，包括促进工人生产力，驾驶员安全以及军事和安全人员的警惕。该项目的最终目标是开发一种统一的关注模型，该模型适用于从单个细胞到大型大脑电路的多个领域。该项目将组建世界上最大的科学家财团，致力于建立对关注的统一理解，其中包括七位神经生理学家，五位认知神经科学家，一名建模者和一名神经科医生。该项目的其他目标是建立持久的合作，并促进未来的赠款建议，为神经科学学员建立研究和工业管道，促进初级教师的专业发展，并将教育机会扩展到传统上的弱势群体，包括美国原住民和低社会经济地位的学生。人类和猴子中的方法，包括功能磁共振成像（fMRI），脑电图（EEG）和心电图（ECOG）。这项研究将分为四个主题：1）注意力对多单位模式和神经射击速率的神经生理影响，2）注意力与工作记忆之间的关系，3）注意力的大规模皮质动力学，以及4）通过微观和宏观电路的注意力模型将数据捆绑在一起。三名女初级教师将在女性和代表性不足的少数民族（URM）研究生，毕业后和初级教师举办一次会议，以促进指导和职业发展。该项目还将包括对中学和高中的宣传，包括开发针对K-12科学教师的大规模开放在线课程（MOOC）。
