We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Dynamics of Motor-Respiratory Coupling @ Arizona State University
Anyone who exercises notices that we naturally pace our breathing to our movement pattern. While running, for example, we may take four full strides for every breath (a ratio of 4:1). We use different ratios to ensure that sufficient oxygen is available for movement, thus coaches and trainers often instruct us to control our breathing during exercise deliberately. However, despite nearly four decades of research on motor-respiratory coupling, there have been no studies on this intentional control. With support from the National Science Foundation, Dr. Polemnia Amazeen and Dr. Richard Hinrichs, together with breathing specialist Wendy Waxman, will investigate how people learn to coordinate their breathing and movements. A simple arm swinging task is used to maximize the variety of breathing-movement patterns that can be studied. Feedback displays encourage participants to focus their attention on relevant aspects of the breathing-movement coordination, and yoga practitioners are tested to identify aspects of breath training that improve control. Strategies for "learning for free" are identified when people who have practiced one breathing-movement pattern subsequently improve their performance of other patterns. Requiring people to engage in a competing, cognitive task during the breathing-movement task reveals whether attention is critical to sustaining coordination between breathing and movement. All findings are summarized within a mathematical model called the Farey tree, a model that has been applied successfully to the performance of polyrhythms (e.g., drumming). This research uses experimental techniques and theoretical tools from many different scientific fields and will integrate research and education through substantial student involvement. Its findings will improve the general understanding of motor coordination and learning theory and will enhance sports instruction and the creation of therapeutic techniques.

Collaborative Research: Multifrequency Coordination in Dyads and Teams @ Arizona State University
People coordinate their actions with one another in many different contexts and in many different ways: Drivers in traffic manage to merge without accident; people walking on crowded streets usually avoid mishap; musicians coordinate a variety of nested rhythms produced by band members. These examples highlight the human capacity to coordinate behavior and exchange information at different rates to accomplish an overall goal, a phenomenon called interperson, multifrequency coordination. The researchers will study interperson, multifrequency coordination by applying the physics of coupled, oscillator systems to the perceptual, cognitive, and social information inherent in this type of coordination. Pairs of participants (dyads) will coordinate their movements while listening to different metronome frequencies through headphones. Both performance pattern and pattern stability will be measured under different experimental conditions in order to test fundamental predictions of the mathematical model. Experimental manipulations specifically designed to increase or decrease coupling between dyads' movements will be tested in the context of perceptual (e.g., visual), cognitive (e.g., counting), and social (e.g., partner familiarity) coupling mechanisms. Field studies are also planned to discover how people coordinate in naturalistic situations. This sequence of studies is designed to advance basic research on multifrequency coordination in dyads and to extend that research to spontaneous coordination in larger teams.
One important aspect of this project is the extension of experimentally induced multifrequency coordination in the laboratory to real-world settings in which spontaneous multifrequency coordination occurs across teams of individuals. The project also has a significant outreach component, including a visit to a nationally organized competitive youth summer camp, where investigators will collect data on spontaneous interperson, multifreqency coordination and teach campers about coordination science and STEM fields.
