Project Grant R00EY034169
- This Project Grant award of $476,451.00 from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), will fund a comprehensive research study on the development of the human dorsal visual cortex. The primary objectives are to: 1) Produce detailed functional and structural atlases charting the maturation of dorsal visual stream representations and underlying neural tissue structures across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood; and 2) Determine how broader...
- 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 $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...
- The National Eye Institute (NEI), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a $510,689 Project Grant under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) to the Georgia TECH Research Corp to conduct research on the functional organization and spatial resolution of attentional feedback from frontal to visual cortex. The 5-year grant, running from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2030, aims to define the neural mechanisms that allow cognitive control of multiple...
- The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $479,417 Project Grant under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) to the University of Florida to conduct a longitudinal study on the development of infant visuocortical function and its relationship to cognitive outcomes. The 5-year project aims to: Characterize infant visuocortical function and developmental trajectories using measures such as visual evoked potentials, steady-state visual evoked potentials, electroencephalography,...
- The federal Project Grant award titled "NEURAL CIRCUITS UNDERLYING VISUAL REPRESENTATION IN THE MEDIAL ENTORHONAL CORTEX" was provided by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867). The award totaling $577,544 was granted to Yale University, with a project period from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2030. The purpose of this award is to conduct a comprehensive research study to (1) determine the capacity for visual stimulus...
- This $464,903 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) will support research at the University of Chicago to investigate how neuronal connections form in the retinogeniculate pathway during childhood development. The researchers will focus on understanding how neurons in the visual system make the correct connections, and how disruptions like closing one eye can impact this process. The goal is to gain insights into how...
- 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 $156,302 Project Grant was awarded by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, Health Sciences Division, on March 1, 2026. The grant supports research aimed at characterizing representational geometry and learning across primate visual streams. Specifically, the research will: 1) Contrast the joint encoding of multiple objects in the inferotemporal cortex (IT) and...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) supports research investigating the adolescent development of top-down feedback for visual processing. The $147,486 grant awarded to Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. on February 1, 2025 aims to characterize the structural and functional development of projections from the anterior cingulate area to the primary visual cortex during adolescence, and explore the role of this circuit...
This federal Project Grant award of $249,000.00 from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) is supporting research to understand how information is processed across different layers of the human cortex and how this relates to perception and learning. The key objectives of the research are to: 1) validate the use of functional MRI to measure layer-specific cortical activity and correlate this with behavioral measures, 2) map how feedforward and feedback signals are organized across the layers of ventral occipital temporal cortex regions involved in high-level visual processing, and 3) examine how representations of face viewpoints and identity are encoded across the layers of the fusiform face area. This research aims to advance the understanding of sophisticated cognitive functions and related mental disorders by studying the laminar organization of information processing in the human cortex.
