We are scEYEnce, a national coalition of 10 leading organizations that is running an information campaign to bring attention to the importance of #vision #research and the need for additional #funding. #VisionResearchNow sceyence.org/resource/annou…

2 companion papers on optoretinography(ORG) : the all-optical in vivo imaging of human photoreceptor light responses by Vimal Prabhu Pandiyan 1. The tech - adaptive optics line-scan OCT - & its application to map cone types, Thanks The Optical Society now Optica for "Editor's pick" tinyurl.com/y5znxcac

2. The ORG reveals the primary steps of phototransduction in the living human eye tinyurl.com/y3ew9v4j Science Advances Grateful to NEI RPB BWFUND Foundation Fighting Blindness for support. And Thanks to collabs @ByersEye UC Berkeley #berkeleyoptometry UC Riverside

I'm excited to share our work showing that four of the parallel pathways in primate retina encode predictive information about visual motion. Fun collaboration with Belle Liu, Arthur Hong, and Fred Rieke. Arthur Hung disq.us/t/3rlg9r9

“A finding present in a large proportion of patients with COVID-19 would be of great potential diagnostic value. However, many, if not all, of the OCT findings reported by Marinho and colleagues represent normal retinal anatomy.”

Functional Organization for Color Appearance Mechanisms in Primary Visual Cortex biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Our latest color vision work! We find ON and OFF cone-opponent functional domains (COFDs) in V1 that interact as predicted by psychophysical studies of color appearance.

Mechanisms of light-induced deformations in Photoreceptors - out now in Biophysical Journal tinyurl.com/y5p4z3op fun collaboration with Palanker lab @ByersEye

Excellent editorial and study from Russell Van Gelder (former) and Rajesh Rao, MD and team (latter). Important information that will help us better support clinican-scientists, who bring so much perspective, compassion & knowledge to their research careers! UW Medicine Michigan Medicine

New paper in Current Biology! We find a new, unexpected blue/S-cone neuron: M2 ipRGCs. Their Blue-ON input challenges coding hypotheses underlying classic color vision models & establishes a new short-wavelength input to non-image-forming vision @jay_neitz cell.com/current-biolog…

Congrats and excellent work Marquette & MCW Joint Dept. of Biomedical Eng. Asst. Prof. Robert F. Cooper on publication of paper, "Optoretinography of Individual Human Cone Photoreceptors" osapublishing.org/oe/fulltext.cf…

Seattle-area folks, please consider re-tweeting the original to help us boost the signal. We're so excited to be able to (safely!) get back into the lab to conduct research that cannot be done remotely.

The latest from #RikardFrederiksen with #AlaMorshedian #SoniaTripathy #GordonFain SfN Journals If you please … a thread 1/ Rod photoreceptors avoid saturation in bright light by the movement of the G protein transducin jneurosci.org/content/early/…

Thanks SchallekLab MarcosLab_UR David Williams Lab Sara Patterson Huxlin Lab #Mcgregorlab #lenzheleznyak & all CVSUoR Flaum Eye Institute for a warm homecoming visit! A lot has changed in #rochester, but University of Rochester is still a mecca for #vision #imaging & wings at #distillery are still the best!

We look forward to welcoming you to Seattle this fall ! Why attend, you ask ? Single track vision mtg Phenomenal speaker line-up Software carpentry workshop for trainees Two keynotes - Rachel Wong (UW) & Beau Watson (Apple) Fall in the PNW! 🍂🏔️ .. .... Please RT !
