Abstract: | (CIT) Focuses on how the retina processes visual information and transmits this information to the brain. This is accomplished by using a state-of-the-art 512-electrode recording system that allows the monitoring of hundreds of cells at once while stimulating the retina with spatial and temporal patterns of light. A key current area of interest is how retinal neurons collectively communicate visual motion information to areas of the brain responsible for motion perception and behavior guided by motion. A long-term goal of the research is to contribute to development of visual prosthetics, devices that could be implanted in the eye and substitute for retinal tissue damaged by disease or other trauma. |
