罗切斯特大学的视觉科学中心（CVS）是一个跨部门的项目， 汇集了视觉科学家谁共享的信念，视觉系统只能被理解 通过不同学科科学家的共同努力。CVS教师的专业知识涵盖 视觉科学的心理物理学、生理学、计算学、解剖学和临床方法。核心的作用是将这些方法纳入协调的研究工作。自5年前的上一次竞争性审查以来，CVS已从28名成员增加到32名成员。其中18人是核心项目的参与研究者。核心利用视觉研究的资金，提高效率和生产力，提高吸引高技能技术人员的能力，增加合作研究，帮助开发共享技术和仪器，并吸引其他学科的科学家。 核心将支持三个模块：计算模块提供专业知识，为心理物理和生理实验，实时实验控制，数据分析和计算建模生成复杂的视觉刺激。仪器模块提供光学，电子和机械工程方面的专业知识，以设计，组装，维护和维修视觉研究的创新技术。成像模块提供组织学、自适应光学视网膜成像和功能性磁共振成像的设施。

The Center for Visual Science (CVS) at the University of Rochester is an interdepartmental program that brings together vision scientists who share the conviction that the visual system can only be understood through the combined effort of scientists from different disciplines. The expertise of the CVS faculty spans psychophysical, physiological, computational, anatomical, and clinical approaches to visual science. The role of the Core is to integrate these approaches into a coordinated research effort. Since the last competitive review 5 years ago, CVS has grown from 28 to 32 members. 18 of these are participating investigators on the Core. The Core leverages funding for vision research, increases efficiency and productivity, increases the ability to attract highly-skilled technical staff, increases collaborative research, helps to develop shared techniques and instrumentation, and attracts scientists from other disciplines. The Core will support three modules: The Computing Module provides expertise in the generation of complex visual stimuli for psychophysical and physiological experiments, real-time experimental control, data analysis, and computational modeling. The Instrumentation Module provides expertise in optical, electronic, and mechanical engineering to design, assemble, maintain, and repair innovative technology for vision research. The Imaging Module provides facilities for histology, adaptive optics retinal imaging, and functional magnetic resonance imaging.
