These topics include: the eye, the visual cortex, visual perception of objects, visual perception of motion, association cortex, streams for visually guided actions, touch, muscle sense, hearing, balance, eye movements, and memory. The activities include introduction to the anatomy related to the topics, animations of physiological actions, and some interactive exercises testing the knowledge of the content. The materials are presented in both interactive Flash form and as PDF documents, there are problem sets associated with each of the topics, and links to related materials on the web. All of the materials are packaged for download. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=86605 Viperlib is a web-based resource library of images and presentation material illuminating the study of visual perception.All images are given freely by the vision research community and are available for educational, non-profit use only.

Requires QuickTime for viewing. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80668 This learning objects allows to explore and recognize alterations of the ocular fundus caused by diabetes. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=360739 This is "an interactive computer-based tutorial was developed to simulate eye movements provoked by the contraction of individual and synergistic extraocular skeletal muscles. The objective for creating the courseware was to stimulate self-directed and problem-based local and distance learning. The courseware is user friendly and achieves a dimension that cannot be attained by using conventional textbooks. It complements didactic and practical (dissection) activities of beginner health professional students enrolled in human structure." http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82563 This site provides numerous pictures of eye disorders.Key Words: Abnormalities:Eye Abnormalities http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=291702 Highwire facilitates access to over 1.1 million full text scholarly articles on medical/biomedical topics. Most journal titles covered include back issues older than 12-24 months. This website features images/graphics and links to related material.

The purpose of this simulator is to teach medical students and doctors how the eye motion will change with pathology of the eye muscles and cranial nerves and what to look for during a standard neurological eye exam. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=659948 The Eyes Have It is an interactive teaching and assessment program on vision care. The Instructional Mode provides an overview of the visual system and disorders of the eyes using photographs or captioned streaming videos supplemented with text. In Quiz Mode, users have a chance to test your knowledge and be scored. There is a quiz corresponding to each topic in the Instructional Mode.
