- 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 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 $1,071,930 federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute's Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) aims to understand how the primate brain's ventral visual stream implements "analysis by synthesis" - a theory of how the visual system coherently perceives scenes by reconstructing them from higher-level models. The principal investigators, an expert in macaque ventral stream electrophysiology and an expert in dynamical systems modeling, will use Neuropixels probes to...
- This federal Project Grant award for $434,296 was provided by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research grant program (CFDA 93.867) with the goal of studying the neural and computational mechanisms underlying natural viewing behavior in primates, including humans and macaques. The research aims to determine how primates prioritize and guide their visual exploration, and how this is supported by activity in the visual cortex and thalamus. The award recipient, President and...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research), aims to elucidate the cortical neural mechanisms that stabilize locomotion using visual feedback. The $134,106 award supports research at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) from September 2025 to August 2027. The project will determine the neural circuitry for using visual feedback to stabilize locomotion in mice, focusing on the role of the mouse primary visual cortex in...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) provides $947,018 to the University of California, San Diego to support research on the role of pupillary and oculomotor measures in aligning internal goals with perceptual processing. The project, titled "Pupillary Working Memory for Adaptive Perception," aims to investigate how peripheral nervous system and sensorimotor mechanisms, such as pupil size changes and eye movements, may serve a...
- The University of Maryland, College Park was awarded a $371,378 Project Grant from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) on July 1, 2025. The grant 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, which is a common model of human trichromatic vision. The proposed work aims to provide the first detailed look at how the foveal V1 processes high-acuity color vision,...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) provides funding of $147,486 to the University of Washington to conduct research on the role of parvalbumin-expressing neurons in primate cortical processing. The project aims to determine if these inhibitory neurons mediate gain control, a key neural computation, in the primate brain. Specifically, the research will use advanced viral genetic tools to optogenetically activate and inactivate...
- 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...
