Applications of vision modeling studies

• Neuroscience research: Making in-silico experiment is a way to reduce the experimental costs, to test hypotheses and design models, and to test algorithms. Our goal is to develop a large-scale simulations platform of impaired retinas, allowing to mimic specific degeneracies or pharmacologically induced impairments, as well as to emulate electric stimulation by prostheses. In addition, the plateform provides a realistic entry to models or simulators of the thalamus or the visual cortex, in contrast to the entries usually considered.

• Education: The simulation plateform we develop could also be a useful tool for educational purposes, illustrating for students how the retina works and respond to visual stimuli.
