a. Functions of the module.This module will serve the expanding computing needs of CVS Core users. The past five yearshave seen many exciting developments in vision science and translational research inophthalmology at Rochester and with those developments, the need for new software and newcomputing technologies has increased. Perhaps most important among these changes hasbeen the development of new multi-user research resources, and the proliferation of severalsets 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 ofperceptual learning and multi-sensory integration in naturalistic environments, a 52-processorcomputing cluster within CVS for data analysis and for modeling and simulation of large-scaleneural networks, and the Rochester Center for Brain imaging, devoted to applying fMRI tostudying vision and cognition. Included among the common technologies are a number ofcommon imaging devices (e.g., adaptive optics systems) used by both the retinal imaging andvision 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. Goingforward, the computing module will make important contributions to projects that include:massively parallel simulations of neural networks, new virtual-reality software for multi-sensoryintegration experiments in both human and non-human primates, super-resolution fMRI forstudying the human LGN, and imaging the living human eye using adaptive optics. Thecomputing module is currently staffed by four highly qualified full-time technicians, who assistthe CVS investigators using the Module.
