VISION & VISUOMOTOR MECHANISMS

这里提出的研究有三个主要目标。 首先是 双眼视敏度正常发育的持续研究 功能和视力控制的婴儿和男女儿童。 的 二是描述了几种测量方法的相关变化 的敏感性和眼功能，以模拟的发展， 视觉系统，并将此模型与 潜在的神经机制。 第三是生产 计算机自动化程序测试视觉功能，在这两个 实验室和临床以及研究的计算机化数据库管理 数据和受试者池。 具体项目包括：1.的研究 立体视的双眼功能的相对发展速率， 瞳孔反应的融合和竞争以及亮度总和。 结合当前发展中的双目系统建模 神经元功能的知识。 2.正常发展的措施 双眼视觉控制的眼睛对准和调节， 单双眼视觉，以及这些措施与 双眼视功能的发展。 3.发展的量化 对边缘方向变化的敏感性。 4.变异研究 游标敏锐度作为边缘取向的横向变化的函数。 5.眼周视敏度发育过程的测量 视网膜6.建立计算机化数据库和主题库。 7.自动化的视觉测试程序，以提高效率和 临床实用性

The research proposed here has three main goals. The first is the continuing study of the normal development of visual sensitivity, binocular function and oculomotor control in infants and children of both sexes. The second is the delineation of the correlative changes in the several meaures of sensitivity and oculomotor function in order to model the development of the visual system and to relate this model to the development of the underlying neuronal mechanisms. The third is the production of computer-automated procedures for testing visual function in the both the laboratory and the clinic and computerized database management of research data and subject pool. The detailed projects include: 1. Studies of the relative rates of development of the binocular functions of stereoacuity, fusion and rivalry, and brightness summation of the pupillary response. Modeling the developing binocular system in conjunction with current knowlege of neuronal function. 2. Measures of the normal development of binocular oculomotor control of eye alignment and accommodation for clear single binocular vision, and the correlation of these measures with the development of binocular visual function. 3. Quantification of development in sensitivity to changes in edge orientation. 4. Studies of variation in vernier acuity as a function of meridional variation in edge orientation. 5. Measurement of the course of development of acuity in the periphery of the retina. 6. Establishment of a computerized database and subject pool. 7. Automation of visual testing procedures to increase efficiency and clinical usefulness.
