We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Neural Mechanisms of Motion Sensitivity in V1 and Mt @ Salk Institute For Biological Studies
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A formal theory of motion systems, distinguishing the contributions of three independent motion mechanisms to human motion perception, is applied to neurophysiology. This framework is applied to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying sensitivity to drifting luminance, texture, and color in the visual cortices of awake, behaving primates. The elucidation of neural mechanisms, based on sensitivity measured to different motion stimuli, is made difficult by motion integration and stimulus distortions, factors obscuring basic properties of motion mechanisms, such as the motion computation's locus, algorithm and relationship to other mechanisms. The proposed work addresses these issues by (1) identifying and removing aberrant luminance motion signals from drifting texture and color, (2) identifying the motion algorithms, (motionenergy vs. feature-based), underlying neural sensitivity, and (3) distinguishing the contributions of motion computation and motion integration to neural sensitivity. Decomposing neural sensitivity to luminance, texture, and chromatic motion, using a framework developed to distinguish mechanisms of motion perception, may similarly distinguish mechanisms underlying neural motion sensitivity in primates.
