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.

建议研究的长远目标是：（a）发展一套 脊椎动物视觉系统的功能组织模型 神经解剖学、神经生理学和 （B）运用人类心理学的理论和技术 心理物理学和缩放，信息处理和感知， 动物实验室利用强大的定量和分析 （c）为了更深入地了解这些方法的优点， 脊椎动物视觉系统中特定细胞群的机制， 尤其是大多数脊椎动物都有， （d）利用某些形态和行为优势 鸟类比非人类哺乳动物提供的研究模型 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理解人类视觉系统 特别着眼于改善视觉缺陷， 这是由于中央处理机制的损伤。
