Eye Opener: Welcome to the first edition of CRS News. From lectures and research to news stories and events, it's our business to be up to date. This is our way of sharing the new ideas we've spotted with our clients, our collaborators and the wider scientific community of which we are proud to be a part.

	Many Colours from Monochromatic Spots?

	Professor David Brainard explores why observers give a wide range of color names in response to cone-sized monochromatic stimuli presented using adaptive optics. This fascinating lecture is available with audio and slides on our website.

	Enabling Technologies for fMRI

	Ten European universities and businesses have formed a consortium for Decisions in Motion - an EU supported research project that aims to describe the neural mechanisms used to guide behaviour in complex visual scenes. Cambridge Research Systems' role is to develop enabling technologies.

	Stop Press for ARVO and VSS: Adaptive Optics This exciting collaboration between Cambridge Research Systems and Imagine Eyes will bring the advantages of adaptive optics into your laboratory, using simple tools to create highly controllable, diffraction limited images on the retina. The system combines the ViSaGe Visual Stimulus Generator with the award winning crx1, using an advanced Wavefront Aberrometer and a unique Deformable Membrane Mirror which is capable of completely compensating for aberrations in 99% of eyes, without the use of accessory optics. Don't miss our demonstration on Cambridge Research Systems' stands at ARVO and VSS. New CB7 Response Knob This high quality aluminium knob connects directly to your PC via a USB interface, and is suitable for finding visual thresholds or making precise parameter adjustments of any kind. The knob can be pressed like a button as well as turned, and detects six actions. It is supported by the CRS Toolbox for MATLAB so that you can integrate it easily into your own experimental setup. New Faces at CRS Don Jackson joined us as the New Year opened as our new General Manager. Don has a varied background including technical experience in semiconductors, chemical analysis and electronics and software engineering as well as experience in marketing and of managing technology based companies. Best wishes to our new customers in China During March, Cambridge Research Systems were delighted to deliver ViSaGe Visual Stimulus Generator systems in China, and meet new customers including Dr Chen at the Department of Psychology, Zhejiang University.
