NSF NCS: Active Listening and Attention in 3D Natural Scenes

ISR-affiliated Professor Cynthia Moss (Johns Hopkins University), ISR Assistant Research Scientist Susanne Sterbing-D’Angelo, alumna and Associate Professor Mounya Elhilali (ECE Ph.D. 2004), and Professor Rajat Mittal received $948K in funding for “Active Listening and Attention in 3D Natural Scenes.” The work, which will be conducted at Johns Hopkins University, leverages innovative engineering tools, cutting-edge neuroscience methods and neuroethological modeling to pursue a multidisciplinary investigation of dynamic feedback between 3D scene representation, attention and action-selection.
