Funded Activity Summary

The eye has a restricted central area that has good vision. We must make very frequent eye movements to build up a high resolution picture of a particular image. The term active vision is used to describe the requirement of coordinating the eye movements with the visual system. The study of active vision at the neural level requires experiments that combine single cell recording with behaviour. This study will explore which parts of the brain are involved in active vision in monkeys.
