This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the federal Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), supports research at Harvard Medical School to better understand the relationship between visual feature processing in the inferior temporal cortex and spatial representations in the medial temporal lobe of the primate brain. The $576,474 award, spanning May 2025 to April 2029, will utilize innovative recording techniques and analysis methods to compare visual feature...
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...
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 $192,900 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), aims to understand how locomotion affects the flow of visual information between brain areas. The researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine will utilize high-density laminar probes to record population activity from multiple brain areas during different locomotive contexts. They will evaluate communication between areas using multivariate analytic...
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...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $124,205 Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) effective March 1, 2025 through February 28, 2027. The grant supports research to investigate how the hippocampus and primary visual cortex interact to generate coordinated mental simulations during active behavior. The project aims to test the generality of this coordination by changing external factors, study...
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 federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) will support research to characterize the development of infant visual function and evaluate its predictive value for concurrent and future cognitive outcomes. The University of Florida is the primary awardee, receiving $479,417 over a 5-year period starting on August 1, 2025. The research will use a battery of tasks including visual evoked potentials, steady-state visual evoked potentials, EEG...
This federal Project Grant award, identified as R01EY036455, was provided by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867). The award of $1,198,422 supports research to investigate the role of oculomotor proprioception in establishing long-term visuospatial memory. The awardee, The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, will conduct this research over the project period from September 1, 2024 to April 30, 2029. The key aims of...
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...
