a. Functions of the module. This module will serve the expanding computing needs of CVS Core users. The past five years have seen many exciting developments in vision science and translational research in ophthalmology at Rochester and with those developments, the need for new software and new computing technologies has increased. Perhaps most important among these changes has been the development of new multi-user research resources, and the proliferation of several sets of common technologies to a number of different research communities within CVS. Included among the multi-user resources are a new virtual reality lab in CVS for the study of perceptual learning and multi-sensory integration in naturalistic environments, a 52-processor computing cluster within CVS for data analysis and for modeling and simulation of large-scale neural networks, and the Rochester Center for Brain imaging, devoted to applying fMRI to studying vision and cognition. Included among the common technologies are a number of common imaging devices (e.g., adaptive optics systems) used by both the retinal imaging and vision correction communities, common multi-electrode recording systems for electrophysiology, and common stimulus display systems used by both neurophysiology and behavioral labs. These common resources require significant support from the computing module. Going forward, the computing module will make important contributions to projects that include: massively parallel simulations of neural networks, new virtual-reality software for multi-sensory integration experiments in both human and non-human primates, super-resolution fMRI for studying the human LGN, and imaging the living human eye using adaptive optics. The computing module is currently staffed by four highly qualified full-time technicians, who assist the CVS investigators using the Module.

a.模块的功能。 此模块将满足CVS Core用户不断扩展的计算需求。过去五年 我在视觉科学和转化研究方面看到了许多令人兴奋的发展， 罗切斯特的眼科，随着这些发展，需要新的软件和新的 计算机技术已经发展。也许这些变化中最重要的是 新的多用户研究资源的开发，以及几个 CVS中的一些不同的研究社区提供了一套通用技术。 多用户资源中包括CVS中的一个新的虚拟现实实验室，用于研究 知觉学习和多感官整合在自然环境中，一个52处理器 CVS中的计算集群，用于数据分析以及大规模建模和仿真 神经网络，以及罗切斯特脑成像中心，致力于将功能磁共振成像应用于 研究视觉和认知。在这些共同技术中， 普通成像设备（例如，自适应光学系统）被视网膜成像和 视力矫正团体，用于电生理学的普通多电极记录系统， 以及神经生理学和行为实验室使用的常见刺激显示系统。 这些公共资源需要来自计算模块的大量支持。去 今后，计算模块将对以下项目作出重要贡献： 神经网络的大规模并行模拟，多感官的新虚拟现实软件 在人类和非人类灵长类动物的整合实验中， 研究人类LGN，并使用自适应光学对活体人眼进行成像。的 计算模块目前配备了四名高素质的全职技术人员，他们协助 CVS调查员使用该模块。
