Central Visual Processing Study Section [CVP]

[CVP Membership Roster] [CVP Meeting Rosters]

The Central Visual Processing [CVP] Study Section reviews applications for basic, clinical and applied research investigating normal and impaired visual perception, gaze control and the responsible circuits and structures of the eye and brain. Specific areas include:

  • Visual perception of brightness, color, form, motion, depth, patterns and objects as well as visual navigation.
  • Movements of the eyes including gaze shifting and accommodation
  • Structure, connectivity, and function of cortical and subcortical regions during development, adulthood and aging probed with systems, cellular, and molecular techniques as well as computational models.
  • Strabismus, amblyopia, myopia, low vision, disorders of gaze, and enhancing or rehabilitating visual impairments through optical aids or training methods.


The study sections with most closely related areas of similar science listed in rank order are:

Cognitive Neuroscience Study Section [COG]
Cognition and Perception Study Section [CP]
Sensorimotor Integration Study Section [SMI]
