Horch, Kenneth W.; Normann, Richard A. | Noble metal penetrating cortical stimulating electrode array: preliminary results | Electrical stimulation of the visual cortex causes subjects to see spots of light (phosphenes) in their visual fields. We have developed arrays of penetrating electrodes which may from the basis of a visual prosthesis centered around electrical stimulation of the visual cortex. These arrays have bee... | Visual prosthesis | 1988 |

Horch, Kenneth W.; Normann, Richard A. | Simulation of a phosphene field based visual prosthesis | A visual prosthesis for the blind based upon electrical stimulation of the visual cortex requires the development of an array of electrodes. To establish design specifications for such an electrode array, we have conducted psychophysical experiments with normally sighted subjects wearing a portable... | Visual prosthesis; Phosphene simulator | 1990 |

Normann, Richard A.; Maynard, Edwin M. | Neural interface for a cortical vision prosthesis | The development of a cortically based vision prosthesis has been hampered by a lack of basic experiments on phosphene psychophysics. This basic research has been hampered by the lack of a means to safely stimulate large numbers of cortical neurons. Recently, a number of laboratories have developed a... | Neuroprosthetics; Artificial Vision; Electrode Arrays; Multielectrode Recordings; Biocompatibility | 1999 |

Normann, Richard A. | Visual Neuroprosthetics: Functional Vision for the Blind | Resent progress in materials and microfabrication technologies have allowed researchers to reconsider the prospect of providing a useful visual sense to the profoundly blind. This will be accomplished by electrically stimulating their visual systems via an array of implanted microelectrodes. T... | Visual Neuroprosthetics; Vision; Blindness | 1995-01 |

Angelucci, Alessandra; Lund, Jennifer S. | Circuits for local and global signal integration in primary visual cortex | Contrast-dependent changes in spatial summation and contextual modulation of primary visual cortex (V1) neuron responses to stimulation of their receptive field reveal long-distance integration of visual signals within V1, well beyond the classical receptive field (cRF) of single neurons. To identif... | Primary Visual Cortex; Extrastriate Cortex; Feed-back Connections; Lateral Connections; SUrround Modulation; Macaque | 2002-10-01 |

Angelucci, Alessandra | Multiple components of surround modulation in primary visual cortex: Multiple neural circuits with multiple functions? | The responses of neurons in primary visual cortex (V1) to stimulation of their receptive field (RF) are modulated by stimuli in the RF surround. This modulation is suppressive when the stimuli in the RF and surround are of similar orientation, but less suppressive or facilitatory when they are cross... | | 2014-01-01 |

Normann, Richard A.; Horch, Kenneth W.; Cha, Kichul | Mobility performance with a pixelized vision system | A visual prosthesis, based on electrical stimulation of the visual cortex, has been suggested as a means for partially restoring functional vision in the blind. The prosthesis would create a pixelized visual sense consisting of punctate spots of light (phosphenes). The present study investigated the... | Visual Prosthesis; Mobility; Phosphene Simulator | 1992 |

Normann, Richard A. | Functional reorganization of primary visual cortex induced by electrical stimulation in the cat. | Compared to the high degree of plasticity observed in a juvenile, mature sensory cortices have long been held to be immutable but, recently, researchers have suggested some plasticity persists in the mature cortex. Cortical reorganization has particular saliency to the development of a cortically ba... | Cat; Electrophysiology; Phosphene; Plasticity; Receptive Field; Striate Cortex | 2005 |

Sample, Susan | More than meets the eye | If you depend only upon your eyes, you won't see what's really going on in a research lab-even in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, where the focus is on understanding vision. "You don't really see with the eye," said Jennifer S. Lund, Ph.D., professor of ophthalmology at the Un... | Vision; Molecular Biology; Eye | 2001-09 |

Angelucci, Alessandra | Layer-specific programs of development in neocortical projection neurons | How are long-range axonal projections from the cerebral cortex orchestrated during development? By using both passively and actively transported axonal tracers in fetal and postnatal ferrets, we have analyzed the development of projections from the cortex to a number of thalamic nuclei. We report th... | Axonal Transport; Efferent Pathways; Brain Mapping | 1995 |

Angelucci, Alessandra | Segregation and overlap of callosal and association neurons in frontal and parietal cortices of primates: a spectral and coherency analysis. | The spatial relations between selected classes of association and callosal neurons were studied in the frontal and parietal lobes of the macaque monkey using retrogradely transported fluorescent dyes. Fast blue and nuclear yellow were injected in the left frontal (areas 4 and 6) and right posterior ... | Macaca fascicularis; Parietal Lobe; Neurons | 1989 |

Gerig, Guido | Functional connectivity MR imaging reveals cortical functional connectivity in the developing brain | BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Unlike conventional functional MR imaging where external sensory/cognitive paradigms are needed to specifically activate different regions of the brain, resting functional connectivity MR imaging acquires images in the absence of cognitive demands (a resting condition) and de... | | 2008-01-01 |

Mathews, V. John | A new model of perceptual threshold functions for application in image compression systems | This paper discusses the development of a perceptual threshold model for the human visual system. The perceptual threshold functions describe the levels of distortions present at each location in an image that human observers can not detect. Models of perceptual threshold functions are useful in ima... | | 1995 |

Normann, Richard A.; Campbell, Patrick K.; Jones, Kelly E.; Huber, Robert J.; Horch, Kenneth W. | Silicon-based, three-dimensional neural interface: manufacturing processes for an intracortical electrode array | A method has been developed for the manufacture of a "three-dimensional" electrode array geometry for chronic intracortical stimulation. This silicon based array consists of a 4.2 x 4.2 x 0.12 mm thick monocrystalline substrate, from which project 100 conductive, silicon needles sharpened to facilit... | Electric Stimulation; Electrodes, Implanted; Sensory Cortex; Intracortical Electrode Array | 1991 |

Normann, Richard A.; Maynard, Edwin M. | Neuronal interactions improve cortical population coding of movement direction | Interactions among groups of neurons in primary motor cortex (MI) may convey information about motor behavior. We investigated the information carried by interactions in MI of macaque monkeys using a novel multielectrode array to record simultaneously from 12-16 neurons during an arm-reaching task. ... | Motor Cortex; Monkey; Population Coding; Movement | 1999 |
