NETVISION: AUSTRALIA'S NATIONAL VISION RESEARCH NETWORK

视觉是人类最重要的感官。视觉障碍带来了重大的健康挑战。视觉为研究知觉、认知和意识提供了一个进入大脑的窗口。它是人类文化和社会发展的组成部分。它为诊断、人工视觉、机器人和监控领域的技术进步提供了机会。因此，愿景对三个国家优先领域至关重要。国家视觉网络将在视觉科学领域建立一个连贯、互动和创新的研究基地，与从艺术、娱乐和时尚业到卫生和教育、边境保护和反恐等领域的最终用户建立联系。

Vision is the most important human sense. Visual malfunctions pose major health challenges. Vision provides a window into the brain, for studying perception, cognition and consciousness. It is integral to human cultural and social development. It provides opportunities for technological advances in diagnostics, artificial vision, robotics, and surveillance. Vision is therefore crucial to three of the National Priority Areas. The National Vision Network will create a coherent, interactive and innovative research base in the vision sciences, linked to end-users in areas ranging from the art, entertainment and fashion industries, through health and education, to border protection and counter-terrorism.
