Projects
Drawing on computer science and evolutionary theory as well as cognitive, developmental, and comparative psychology, a new TWCF-funded project aims to develop a mathematical explanation for the diversity of intelligences observed in the natural world, as they are faced with varying constraints, capacities, and opportunities.
Projects
Dora Biro from the University of Rochester leads this project to advance a framework for mapping rationality and reasoning across nonhuman in biological and machine intelligences and for identifying rationality and reasoning among individuals and collectives.
Projects
This project aims to strengthen the training of the next generation of researchers in neurobiology and philosophy of consciousness, and higher-order cognitive processing. Led by Kate Geddie of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR), co-directed by Adrian Mark Owen and Anil K. Seth, this grant supports the CIFAR Brain, Mind and Consciousness Program’s Winter School.
Projects
This project based at, and led by, the Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues (JCCV), University of Birmingham seeks to provide a series of research support and community building activities for grantees funded under the Global Innovations for Character Development.
Projects
Resilience mitigates adverse health outcomes caused by toxic stress, enabling children to adapt despite challenges they face. With TWCF funding, Early Years Nigeria Initiative is creating curricula to help kids develop resilience and character strengths in Northern Nigeria.
Projects

Projects
Designed to help people with self-condemnation struggles in Trinidad and Tobago, the REACH self-forgiveness intervention is being examined as a tool to alleviate emotional distress, improve mental health and reduce addictive and suicidal behaviors.
Projects
The team aims to create an honesty and integrity-based program, designed for African youths.
Projects
By examining the phenomenon of blindsight, new research aims to discover cell types and brain areas specifically required for the conscious component of vision but expendable for the unconscious component. If successful, these discoveries will help researchers identify what kinds of brain cells might be uniquely necessary for consciousness.
Projects
Data collected during a series of sleep recordings and serial awakenings of epileptic volunteer test subjects will be analyzed to compare brain wave activity during dreaming vs loss of consciousness, in an effort to learn which brain areas support human consciousness. The findings could lead to innovative therapies to prevent or revert loss of consciousness during seizures, and impact ethical decisions concerning withdrawal of care in unresponsive patients with severe brain damage.
