The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York received a $245,250 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867). The award period runs from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2026.
The purpose of this grant is to study shape distortions perceived by amblyopic children, a condition that can impair their ability to learn and recognize important visual shapes like letters and numbers. The research aims to develop new tools, including "perceptograms" generated using adversarial neural networks, to better understand how amblyopic children visually process shapes. The findings will provide insights into the neural mechanisms underlying shape perception deficits in amblyopia and inform the development of improved diagnostic and treatment approaches. This project will also serve as a platform to explore shape distortions associated with other childhood visual disorders.
