Twenty one faculty of the Center for Visual Science (CVS) at the University of Rochester request renewal of support for a pre-doctoral and postdoctoral training program that emphasizes two broadly defined areas of vision research - research into central visual processing using psychophysical, physiological, and computational approaches and research in physiological optics using advanced optical techniques to study both basic questions about retinal processing and for translational research on eye disease. Training is interdisciplinary, drawing particularly on the unique technical and intellectual resources of the Center. It covers a broad range of basic and clinical problems in vision, but emphasizes approaches that link visual performance to underlying neural mechanisms. We request each year support for six pre-doctoral trainees, who will generally enter the program through Brain and Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, or the Institute of Optics. Students take core courses plus advanced seminars in visual science, augmented by courses from the department through which they entered the program. They attend regular colloquia, research meetings and the biannual CVS Symposium and Fall Vision Meeting. Concurrently with course work, students complete research projects in CVS preceptor labs We request each year support for one postdoctoral fellow. Postdoctoral training has a heavy emphasis on research. The training grant will be used especially to draw talented scientists from other areas into vision research. We are also requesting stipends for eight summer undergraduate research fellows to participate in an ongoing program that we have developed to introduce students to research in vision science and recruit students into graduate training in visual science.

罗切斯特大学视觉科学中心（CVS）的21名教师要求 更新对博士前和博士后培训计划的支持，强调两个广泛的 视觉研究的特定领域-利用心理物理学研究中央视觉处理， 生理学和计算方法以及使用先进的生理光学的研究 光学技术研究视网膜处理和翻译的基本问题， 研究眼疾。培训是跨学科的，特别是利用独特的技术和 中心的智力资源。它涵盖了广泛的基础和临床问题的视觉， 但强调将视觉表现与潜在的神经机制联系起来的方法。 我们要求每年支持六名博士前学员，他们通常会进入该计划 通过大脑和认知科学，计算机科学，神经科学，生物医学工程，或 光学研究所学生参加核心课程加上视觉科学的高级研讨会， 通过他们进入该计划的部门的课程来增强。他们参加 定期座谈会，研究会议和两年一度的CVS研讨会和秋季愿景会议。 与课程工作同时，学生在CVS preceptor实验室完成研究项目。 每年资助一名博士后。博士后培养非常重视 research.培训补助金将特别用于吸引来自其他领域的有才华的科学家， 视觉研究我们还要求为八名暑期本科研究员提供津贴， 参加我们开发的一个正在进行的项目，向学生介绍视觉研究 科学和招收学生进入视觉科学的研究生培训。
