Project Grant R01EY038606
- This $576,474 Project Grant awarded by the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), will support research at Harvard Medical School to elucidate the relationship between visual and spatial representations in the primate temporal lobe. The project aims to use novel technologies like chronic multielectrode recordings and deep neural network analysis to characterize the visual feature selectivity and spatial coding of neurons in the inferior...
- The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $2,515,724 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to further develop NTracer2, a cloud-based platform for brain image visualization and neuron tracing. The project aims to establish NTracer2's SISF data framework as a scalable image data standard, continue developing the NTracer2 content delivery network and application server, and deploy the full-stack...
- The University of Minnesota was awarded a $3,972,414 Project Grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke within the Department of Health and Human Services to develop an electro-optical multiphoton microscope. The microscope will leverage advances in electro-optical beam deflection to enable random-access multiphoton interrogation of neurons and synapses with sub-microsecond access times. This will allow neuroscientists to collect the simultaneous recordings needed...
- The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $505,311 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to Intelligent Imaging Innovations, Inc. (3i), a for-profit manufacturer of advanced microscopy equipment and software based in Denver, Colorado. The two-year grant, awarded on January 1, 2025, seeks to establish the feasibility of combining recent advances in optical techniques to produce a commercial instrument that enables large-scale, all-optical...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) provides $476,451 to The Trustees of Princeton University to develop atlases charting the functional and structural development of the human dorsal visual cortex across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. The 5-year project will leverage functional MRI, quantitative MRI, neuroanatomical mapping, and video game-based experiments to measure how changes in visual spatial representations and...
- The federal Project Grant award titled "MULTIREGIONAL NEURONAL COMPUTATIONS UNDERLYING RAPID AND FLEXIBLE VISUAL CATEGORICAL DECISIONS" is funded by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867). The $688,882 award will support research to understand the neuronal computations that underlie rapid and flexible visually-based decision making, which is critical for conditions like Alzheimer's disease and attention deficit disorder that...
- This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) is focused on understanding the mechanisms of generative vision in the primate ventral stream. The $1,071,930 award, made on August 11, 2025, supports a collaborative research project between an expert in macaque ventral stream electrophysiology and an expert in dynamical systems modeling. The key objectives are to use Neuropixels probes to record from multiple nodes of the macaque face patch network, and...
- This Project Grant award of $482,312 from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research program) supports research to develop a dynamic spatiotemporal normalization framework for understanding human visual perception. The research aims to investigate how visual perception is shaped by the temporal context of visual input, as well as the interaction between temporal attention and temporal normalization processes. The 5-year project, awarded to the Trustees of Boston University and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) provides $124,205.00 to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to investigate coordinated mental simulations in the hippocampus and primary visual cortex during active behavior in rats. The project aims to use innovative neural recording tools and advanced algorithms to understand how these brain regions interact to generate mental simulations that go beyond immediate sensory experience. The...
- The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $156,302 project grant 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, for the project "Characterizing Representational Geometry and Learning Across Primate Visual Streams". The project aims to investigate variations in neural representations of objects and environments across different regions of the primate visual system, and to model...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $385,000 Project Grant under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to amass a large database of brain activity data as humans internally generate mental images. The Mental Imagery Database (MID) will use high-resolution 7T fMRI to achieve large-scale sampling of brain activity during mental imagery, with the goal of gaining insights into how the human brain transforms text into novel visual representations. This work is expected to deliver a method for producing high-quality reconstructions of visual mental images, which could aid in the diagnosis and communication for unresponsive patients and help patients interrogate and control intrusive mental images of traumatic events. The project is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2029.
