This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) provides $462,000 to the University of Utah to develop a non-human primate model capable of measuring real-time changes in neural activity after ultrasound neuromodulation. The study aims to deliver clinic-ready protocols to optimally excite or inhibit targeted brain regions, with the goal of revolutionizing treatments for neurological and mental disorders through precise, non-invasive ultrasound...
This Project Grant award of $259,095 from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), aims to develop an advanced optical imaging system capable of capturing the full electrical dynamics of thousands of neurons in the cortex and hippocampus of awake, behaving rodents. The project will leverage a combination of structured one-photon excitation and light field detection to achieve high-speed volumetric imaging of genetically encoded voltage...
This Project Grant award of $482,312.00 was provided by the National Eye Institute, under the federal Vision Research grant program (CFDA 93.867), to Trustees of Boston University. The project, titled "Testing a Dynamic Spatiotemporal Normalization Framework for Human Vision", will investigate how visual perception depends on both instantaneous input and temporal context, with a focus on understanding the role of normalization and temporal attention. The research will involve...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) supports research to understand the neural mechanisms that underlie flexible visual-oculomotor decision-making in the brain. The $1,969,806 award, spanning September 2024 to March 2029, will fund the investigation of where and how visual decision rules are implemented in the brain. The research aims to characterize flexible decision rule use, identify correlative relationships between neural activity and...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), supports research to understand the representation of cone photoreceptors in the primary visual cortex (V1) of the non-human primate brain. The $562,215 award to the University of Alabama at Birmingham, with a project period from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2029, will use adaptive optics technology to measure V1 neural responses at a cone-resolved level. The research...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), supports a research project titled "Development of Human Dorsal Visual Cortex." The $476,451 award, which runs from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2030, aims to map the structural and functional development of the dorsal visual stream in the human brain across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. The research team at Princeton University will leverage...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) provides $611,546.00 to The Regents of the University of California, Berkeley to conduct research on the computational and neural mechanisms underlying sustained human perception. The project aims to investigate how attention and awareness affect persistent representations of visual stimuli, the structure and information content of field potentials and single neuron spikes in brain regions during...
This $192,900 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), aims to understand how locomotion affects the flow of visual information between brain areas. The researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine will utilize high-density laminar probes to record population activity from multiple brain areas during different locomotive contexts. They will evaluate communication between areas using multivariate analytic...
This $227,594 Project Grant, awarded by the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) on September 1, 2024, supports research to delineate the neural computational network for object recognition in humans. The research aims to examine the neural computations and dynamics within the visual temporal cortex (VTC) and medial temporal lobe (MTL) brain regions, using intracranial recordings and computational algorithms to survey different neural coding models. The project seeks to...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to Vanderbilt University to investigate the effects of nucleus basalis stimulation on neuronal activity in the prefrontal and parietal cortex during visual working memory tasks in non-human primates. The $666,276 award, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029, aims to understand the neuronal mechanisms by which cholinergic transmission can improve cognitive function, which is impaired across...
