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。 该模块将服务于CVS Core用户不断扩大的计算需求。过去五年 在视觉科学和翻译研究方面看到了许多令人兴奋的发展 罗切斯特的眼科和这些发展，需要新的软件和新的 计算技术有所增加。也许在这些变化中最重要的是 正在开发新的多用户研究资源，并激增了几个 为CVS内的多个不同研究社区提供一套通用技术。 在多用户资源中包括了CVS的一个新的虚拟现实实验室，用于研究 自然主义环境下的知觉学习和多感觉整合，52处理器 CVS中的计算集群，用于数据分析和大规模的建模和仿真 神经网络和罗切斯特脑成像中心，致力于将功能磁共振应用于 研究视觉和认知。在通用技术中包括许多 视网膜成像和自适应光学系统使用的公共成像设备 视力矫正社区，用于电生理的常见多电极记录系统， 以及神经生理学和行为实验室都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。vbl.去，去 今后，计算模块将为以下项目作出重要贡献： 新型多感官虚拟现实软件--神经网络大规模并行模拟 在人类和非人类灵长类动物中的整合实验，超分辨率功能磁共振成像 研究人类的LGN，并使用自适应光学对活体人眼进行成像。这个 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 使用模块的CVS调查人员。
