- This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) provides funding to researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to study the neural mechanisms underlying visual processing and behavior after photoreceptor degeneration. The $237,588 award, spanning June 2025 through December 2027, will leverage the vertical optokinetic reflex (OKR) - a visual behavior that tracks global motion - to investigate how cone degeneration disrupts noise...
- This $192,900 federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) supports research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine to investigate how locomotion affects the flow of visual information between brain areas. The project will use high-density laminar probes to record population activity from multiple visual areas in mice under different locomotive contexts. The researchers will evaluate changes in inter-areal visual signal communication using...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) provides $127,785 to the University of California, San Diego to conduct research on the neural mechanisms underlying active vision in freely moving marmoset monkeys. The research aims to investigate how the primate visual system, including brain regions like the primary visual cortex (V1), visual area V4, and frontal eye field (FEF), supports visual processing and attention during natural exploratory...
- This federal Project Grant award of $1,038,798, provided by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), supports research on sensorimotor processing in the oculomotor system and how it relates to the interception of moving targets through saccadic eye movements. The research project, led by the University of Pittsburgh, aims to investigate how the brain's representation of a moving target's location and motion affects sensory and motor processes involved...
- This $240,750 federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute's Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) aims to investigate the role of neural-glial-vascular signaling in the development of the eye's vasculature. The research has two main objectives: 1) Characterizing vasculature development and how it is altered in mice with modified retinal waves, using quantitative approaches and live imaging, and 2) Establishing the maturation of the glial-vascular unit through immunofluorescence...
- This federal Project Grant award of $123,794 from the National Eye Institute's Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) supports research to reveal the fundamental mechanisms of visual selective attention. The principal investigator at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will leverage an invertebrate model system to identify the neural components and computations underlying object detection and saccadic control pathways. These studies aim to further the understanding of simple...
- This $688,882 Project Grant awarded by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) supports a multidisciplinary research project on the neuronal computations underlying rapid and flexible visual categorical decision-making in humans. The project employs a combination of large-scale neuronal population recording techniques and theoretical modeling to investigate the coordinated activity within and between brain regions like the posterior parietal...
- This Project Grant award of $232,500 from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) supports research at The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the use of micro-stimulation of mid-level and higher-level visual cortex as a prosthetic strategy for restoring 3D object vision. The research aims to demonstrate that micro-stimulation of specific V4 neuron clusters that encode 3D geometric shape fragments can causally influence 3D shape perception in macaque monkeys. If...
- This $580,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems will fund research to develop more biologically realistic computational models of the primate visual system. Awarded under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), the grant supports work at the University of California, San Diego from September 15, 2022 to August 31, 2025. The research aims to incorporate key features of human vision missing from...
- This $517,600 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), to The Washington University in Missouri. The funding supports a research project titled "Visual Feature Competition Between Central and Peripheral Retinal Pathways" over the period from July 1, 2025 to March 31, 2030. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) behaviorally assess whether larval zebrafish can perform eye fixation...
