Project Grant R01EY038608
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) supports research to understand the relationship between visual feature representation in the inferior temporal cortex and spatial representations in the medial temporal lobe of the primate brain. The $576,474 award to President and Fellows of Harvard College, operating as Harvard Medical School, will utilize innovative neuroimaging and analysis techniques to characterize how visual and spatial...
- 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...
- This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), supports the development of a novel genetic screening approach termed "Mosaic In Vivo Perturbation (MVP)" to systematically assess gene function in the eye. The $1,387,142 award, effective September 1, 2024 through June 30, 2028, will enable researchers at President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard Medical School) to optimize the MVP approach, develop an...
- 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 federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) provides $127,785 to the University of California, San Diego to conduct research on the neural mechanisms underlying active vision in freely moving marmoset monkeys. The research aims to investigate how the primate visual system, including brain regions like the primary visual cortex (V1), visual area V4, and frontal eye field (FEF), supports visual processing and attention during natural exploratory...
- 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 $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 of $123,794 from the National Eye Institute's Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) supports research to reveal the fundamental mechanisms of visual selective attention. The principal investigator at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will leverage an invertebrate model system to identify the neural components and computations underlying object detection and saccadic control pathways. These studies aim to further the understanding of simple...
- The National Eye Institute (NEI), through its Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), awarded a $264,226 project grant to the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The grant will fund a two-week advanced research training course in visual neuroscience at the MBL from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030. The training course aims to teach students fundamental concepts in visual neuroscience and train them in modern research methods such as large-scale electron...
- 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 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 Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard Medical School), will conduct behavioral experiments, large-scale neurophysiology, and develop deep learning models to better understand visual prioritization and its potential applications in machine vision, social robotics, and computational psychiatry. The award period runs from September 2025 to January 2029.
