The long term objectives of the proposed research are: (a) to develop a model of the functional organization of the vertebrate visual system based on comparative data from the fields of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neuropsychology; (b) to apply the theories and techniques of human psychophysics and scaling, information processing and perception to the animal laboratory to make use of the powerful quantitative and analytical advantages of these methods; (c) to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms by which specific cells groups in the vertebrate visual system, especially those that are common to most vertebrates, process visual information; (d) to exploit certain morphological and behavioral advantages that birds offer over non-human mammalian models to investigate structure-function relationships. The ultimate goal of this research is to apply the findings to a better understanding of the human visual system with a particular view towards the amelioration of visual deficits that result from injury to its central processing mechanisms.

拟议研究的长期目标是：(A)制定一项 脊椎动物视觉系统的功能组织模型 关于神经解剖学、神经生理学和神经科学领域的比较数据 神经心理学；(B)应用人类的理论和技术 心理物理学和尺度，信息处理和感知到 利用动物实验室强大的数量化和分析性 这些方法的优点；(C)加深对 脊椎动物视觉系统中特定细胞群的机制， 尤其是那些大多数脊椎动物常见的，过程视觉 信息；(D)利用某些形态和行为优势 鸟类提供了比非人类哺乳动物模型更好的研究 结构-功能关系。这项研究的最终目的是 将这些发现应用于更好地了解人类视觉系统 对改善视力缺陷有特殊的看法， 这是由于其中央处理机制受损所致。
