This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) provides $611,546.00 to The Regents of the University of California, Berkeley to conduct research on the computational and neural mechanisms underlying sustained human perception. The project aims to investigate how attention and awareness affect persistent representations of visual stimuli, the structure and information content of field potentials and single neuron spikes in brain regions during...
This Project Grant award of $206,185 from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) supports research to assess the spatial and temporal scales of attention effects and attention-dependent cholinergic release in the visual cortex of macaque monkeys. The research employs electrochemistry and electrophysiology techniques to test three competing models of the role of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in attention. The study is being conducted by Duke University from September 2024...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the federal Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), provides $688,882 in funding to the University of Chicago to conduct research on the neuronal computations that underlie rapid and flexible visual categorical decisions. The research aims to understand how coordinated neuronal activity across brain regions supports decision-making related to visual stimuli, which is critical for addressing conditions like Alzheimer's...
This $125,734 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), supports research to understand how distinct subregions of the prefrontal cortex modulate visual attention and processing in the visual cortex. The key objectives are to: Quantify and compare the activity of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACA) and orbitofrontal cortex (ORB) axons in the visual cortex during different stages of visual attention. Evaluate how perturbing the...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) supports research to understand the neural mechanisms that underlie flexible visual-oculomotor decision-making in the brain. The $1,969,806 award, spanning September 2024 to March 2029, will fund the investigation of where and how visual decision rules are implemented in the brain. The research aims to characterize flexible decision rule use, identify correlative relationships between neural activity and...
This federal Project Grant award of $371,378.00, provided by the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research), supports research to investigate the mechanisms of vision processing at the center-of-gaze (or fovea) in the primary visual cortex (V1) of the macaque monkey. The research aims to provide the first detailed understanding of how the foveal V1 processes high-acuity color vision, which is fundamental to understanding human vision but remains largely unknown. The award was granted...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $510,689 Project Grant under CFDA 93.867 (Vision Research) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation. The grant, effective March 1, 2025 through February 28, 2030, will fund research to define the functional organization and retinotopic precision of top-down feedback circuitry from the anterior cingulate cortex to primary and higher visual cortical areas, as well as the functional organization and efficacy of these top-down feedback projections during...
This National Eye Institute (NEI) Project Grant award (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) provides $146,816 to Yale University to conduct research on the role of the hippocampus in visual perception and attention. The research aims to investigate how hippocampal differentiation, a process that distinguishes related visual stimuli, may bias visual perception and behavior through the repulsion of attention from related objects and features. The project uses behavioral and functional magnetic resonance...
This Project Grant award of $910,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences supports research on the "Mechanisms of Willed Attention" at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). This research, under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to investigate the brain mechanisms that enable humans to voluntarily direct their attention, especially in the absence of external cues. Using...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program provides $1,978,475.00 in funding from August 6, 2024 to April 30, 2029 to investigate the neural basis of visual attention in the primate brain. The grant supports research conducted by The Trustees of Princeton University to uncover the neural mechanisms underlying the rhythmic, theta-based sampling of visual information during attentional...
