A six-million-dollar grant from the National Science Foundation will benefit University of Nebraska-Lincoln students, and UNL’s Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior.

Psychology professor Matt Johnson says some of the money will help fund specific research projects at UNL and at similar centers at the universities of Delaware and Nevada.

Psychology professor Mike Dodd says recruiting and teaching graduate students is a major part of the effort.

The researchers’ work focuses on the relationship between perception and knowledge.
