The Washington University Office of Sponsored Research Services Division was awarded a $113,797 federal Project Grant from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867). The grant funding will support research to delineate the neural computational network underlying object recognition in the human brain. The project aims to examine neural coding models and dynamics within the visual temporal cortex and medial temporal lobe regions critical for translating visual inputs into semantic representations. Through intracranial recordings and computational analyses, the research seeks to identify how different neural coding strategies transition along this brain pathway to facilitate object recognition. The anticipated outcomes have the potential to inform therapies for neurological disorders involving impaired object recognition.
