This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA Program 93.867 - Vision Research) aims to investigate the neural computational network underlying object recognition in humans. The $227,594 award will be used to conduct intracranial recordings at both the individual neuron and neural-circuit levels across brain regions, coupled with computational analysis, to delineate how visual feature representations in the visual temporal cortex are transformed into semantic representations...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research (CFDA 93.867) program, supports research to understand the neural mechanisms underlying visual categorization. The University of Chicago will receive $340,822 over a project period from Sep 1, 2024 to Mar 31, 2027 to conduct electrophysiological recording experiments in non-human primates. The goal is to elucidate the circuit-level computations required for categorization tasks involving the integration...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $409,375 five-year Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to The Johns Hopkins University to decipher and apply brain algorithms for 3D object perception. The project aims to use artificial vision networks to replicate the 3D shape tuning functions of individual neurons in the visual cortex of macaque monkeys, with the goal of developing artificial networks that can achieve human-level 3D visual performance. Key components include training...
The federal Project Grant award R21EY037065 from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) supports research by The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the use of patterned micro-stimulation of intermediate and higher-level visual cortex as a prosthetic strategy for restoring 3D object vision. The $232,500 award, active from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026, aims to test the hypothesis that micro-stimulation-generated activity in V4 visual cortex...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research (CFDA 93.867) program, 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 understand how coordinated neuronal activity mediates decision-related computations by monitoring neuronal populations across three interconnected brain regions during visual decision-making tasks....
This $251,573 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under CFDA 93.867 "Vision Research" will support the development of a new technology to re-engineer connectivity in the living brain of the fruit fly Drosophila. The overarching goal is to better understand how brain circuits function in the normal state and in disease, by allowing researchers to prevent the formation of specific synaptic connections between neurons. The project will utilize rational molecular...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), provides $476,451 in funding to The Trustees of Princeton University to conduct research on the development of the human dorsal visual cortex. The project aims to generate a functional and structural atlas of the dorsal visual stream across child, adolescent, and adult development, leveraging multimodal neuroimaging, quantitative MRI, and behavioral experiments. This...
This $125,734 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), supports research to understand how distinct subregions of the prefrontal cortex modulate visual attention and processing in the visual cortex. The key objectives are to: Quantify and compare the activity of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACA) and orbitofrontal cortex (ORB) axons in the visual cortex during different stages of visual attention. Evaluate how perturbing the...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $611,546 Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to The Regents of the University of California, Berkeley to study the computational principles and neural mechanisms underlying sustained perception in humans. The key objectives are to investigate how attention and awareness affect persistent representations of visual stimuli, analyze the structure and information content of field potentials and single neuron spikes in brain regions...
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...
