Ultrafast tracking of physiological processes in the human eye

高分辨率成像技术的最新发展，使人们能够以非常高的速度研究活体眼睛中的单个细胞。该项目旨在探索一种新的快速现象的科学观察，包括：光能的捕获和转化为电能，压力波通过精致的血管网络的传播，以及用于导航视觉场景的快速眼球运动。该项目希望利用最先进的技术产生关于这些过程的新知识，以揭示更多关于眼睛和视觉系统如何工作的信息。我们对生理功能的新测量将在细胞水平上发生的疾病的早期诊断和治疗中提供显著的未来益处。

Recent developments in high-resolution imaging allow individual cells in the living eye to be studied at very high speeds. This project aims to explore a new class of scientific observations of rapid phenomena including: the capture and conversion of light energy to electrical energy, the spread of pressure waves through delicate networks of blood vessels, and fast eye movements used to navigate the visual scene. This project expects to generate new knowledge about these processes using state of the art technology, to reveal more about how the eye and visual system work. Our novel measures of physiological function will offer significant future benefit in the early diagnosis and treatment of disorders occurring at the cellular level.
