Cortical processing at the center-of-gaze

Award for research on cortical processing of vision at the center-of-gaze, focusing on primary visual cortex in macaque monkeys, funded by the National Eye Institute for $371,378 from 2025 to 2030.

Description

The project involves detailed measurements of how the cortex processes vision at the center-of-gaze using new experimental and computational approaches. The work aims to gain insight into how neurons represent high acuity vision and color. The project focuses on the primary visual cortex (V1) in macaque monkeys, a model for human trichromatic vision. The project duration is from July 1, 2025, to April 30, 2030. The project team includes scientists with computational and empirical expertise and involves both methodological and intellectual innovation.
