EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. The goal of this program is to support graduate training in the field of vision at MIT. Funding for five predoctoral students is requested. The Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences (BCS) has a very broad range of research and teaching in the vision sciences, with particular expertise in visual development, neurophysiology, psychophysics, and computational models. In conjunction with participants from the Department of Biology and the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, the program will provide excellent opportunities for students to explore a wide range of topics in vision. In the first year of the graduate program, all BCS students take a year-long interdisciplinary core course covering the breadth of the department's specialties: molecular and cellular neuroscience, systems neuroscience, computational neuroscience, and cognitive science and neuroscience. Each of these areas offers different approaches to vision, as represented by the research of and courses taught by the participatingfaculty on this proposal. During the first year, students also begin research, either immediately upon entry, or in the spring term after one to three month-long rotations in laboratories during the fall term. Throughout the course of their education, graduate students are expected to conduct research at least half-time, while taking courses or teaching, or full-time during summers and after coursework is complete. Acting as teaching assistants is required for three terms, usually one term each in the second, third, and fourth years. An advisory committee is chosen within the first year, although the primary advisor usually has the greatest contact with the student, especially in regard to research. Written and oral qualifying exams take place after the second year, and a research report is required during the third year. The department graduate program is coordinated by a Graduate Committee comprised of representatives from each area of the department, and a Graduate Office which implements the Committee's decisions and administers the graduate program from admissions through graduation. The purpose of this training program is to produce a new generation of vision researchers who are highly trained in their own field of expertise, but who are also broadly educated about the scientific foundationsthat link the vision community together.

超出所提供的空间。该计划的目标是支持麻省理工学院视觉领域的研究生培训。申请资助5名博士生。脑与认知科学系（BCS）在视觉科学方面有非常广泛的研究和教学，特别是视觉发育，神经生理学，心理物理学和计算模型方面的专业知识。与来自生物学系和电气工程与计算机科学系的参与者一起，该计划将为学生提供探索各种视觉主题的绝佳机会。在研究生课程的第一年，所有BCS学生参加为期一年的跨学科核心课程，涵盖部门的专业范围：分子和细胞神经科学，系统神经科学，计算神经科学，认知科学和神经科学。这些领域中的每一个都提供了不同的视觉方法，正如参与这项建议的教师所教授的研究和课程所代表的那样。在第一年，学生也开始研究，无论是在进入后立即，或在春季学期后，在秋季学期在实验室为期一至三个月的轮换。在整个教育过程中，研究生预计将进行研究至少一半的时间，而采取的课程或教学，或全职在夏季和课程完成后。担任助教需要三个学期，通常在第二，第三和第四年各一个学期。咨询委员会是在第一年内选择，虽然主要顾问通常与学生接触最多，特别是在研究方面。第二年后进行书面和口头资格考试，第三年需要提交研究报告。该部门的研究生课程由一个研究生委员会协调，该委员会由该部门的每个领域的代表组成，以及一个研究生办公室，该办公室执行委员会的决定，并管理从入学到毕业的研究生课程。该培训计划的目的是培养新一代的视觉研究人员，他们在自己的专业领域受到高度培训，但他们也受到广泛的教育，了解将视觉社区联系在一起的科学基础。性能现场=
