The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $611,546 Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to The Regents of the University of California, Berkeley to study the computational principles and neural mechanisms underlying sustained perception in humans. The key objectives are to investigate how attention and awareness affect persistent representations of visual stimuli, analyze the structure and information content of field potentials and single neuron spikes in brain regions...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI) Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) will support research to investigate how humans form allocentric (world-centered) spatial maps of 3D environments using visual information, without physical exploration. The $218,068 award to the University of Pennsylvania will fund two aims: 1) Identifying brain regions that support viewpoint-independent, allocentric representations of both viewed ("scene space") and...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research (CFDA 93.867) program, supports research to understand the neural mechanisms underlying visual categorization. The University of Chicago will receive $340,822 over a project period from Sep 1, 2024 to Mar 31, 2027 to conduct electrophysiological recording experiments in non-human primates. The goal is to elucidate the circuit-level computations required for categorization tasks involving the integration...
The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania were awarded a three-year, $539,985 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences.
