The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $227,265 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) to the University of California, Berkeley to map human retinal ganglion cell receptive fields and connect light stimulation of individual retinal photoreceptors to retinal ganglion cell activity and visual perception. The primary objectives are to: 1) leverage adaptive optics-stabilized microstimulation of the photoreceptor mosaic to precisely control input to the retina and disentangle the perceptual...
The federal Project Grant award R01EY035249, totaling $605,903.00, was provided by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to the University of California, Davis. The overarching goal of this 5-year project is to determine the role of the medial temporal lobe in visual perception and working memory. The research will employ a combination of psychophysical methods, eye tracking, studies of patients with focal brain lesions, and high-resolution brain...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $123,794 Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying selective visual attention. The project aims to identify the neural components and computations involved in object detection and saccadic control, leveraging the fly visual system as a model. Key objectives include formalizing the selection mechanisms implemented by inhibitory...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), provides $211,988 to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), to conduct research on the neural mechanisms underlying orientation-dependent surround suppression in the visual cortex. The primary objective is to investigate how feedback connections from higher visual areas to inhibitory interneurons...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $741,499 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to the University of California, Davis to conduct research on the functional organization of direct and transthalamic pathways in the visual cortex. The primary goal is to understand how cortical areas, specifically the primary and secondary visual cortices (V1 and V2), communicate using these parallel pathways in both mouse and monkey models. The researchers will use optogenetic tools to...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a five-year, $363,443 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) to the Trustees of Boston University to investigate how states of arousal affect visual processing in humans. The project will leverage functional neuroimaging and psychophysical methods to examine the influence of arousal on fundamental visual features such as orientation, spatial frequency, and contrast processing. A sub-award of unspecified funding was made to Radboud Universiteit...
This $475,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) will support research to characterize the neural circuits and information processing in the visual system of mice. The key objectives are to: Identify the specific pathways in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the thalamus that transmit different types of visual information (motion-tuned vs. non-motion-tuned) from the retina to the primary visual cortex (V1)....
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $429,883 Project Grant (R01EY037194) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) to characterize the neural computations involved in how visual cortical area V4 neurons respond to dynamic video clips. The research aims to build a computational model that accurately predicts temporal V4 responses and interrogate the model to isolate the circuits governing temporal integration of visual features. CMU...
This R01 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), provides $688,882 to the University of Chicago to conduct research on the neuronal computations underlying rapid and flexible visual categorical decisions. The research aims to enhance understanding of how the brain processes visual information and makes decisions, which is critical for addressing brain-based diseases and conditions that impair everyday visual recognition and...
This Project Grant award of $124,205 from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) aims to investigate how the hippocampus and primary visual cortex interact to generate coordinated mental simulations during active behavior. The research combines innovative neural recording techniques and advanced algorithms to study position decoding in freely moving rats. The work will test the generality of this coordination, examine the feedforward and feedback...
