A look back—and ahead—at an interdisciplinary hub for vision research
For nearly 60 years, the University’s Center for Visual Science has been transforming our understanding of vision and how we treat vision disorders.
‘Time is vision’ after a stroke
A person who has a stroke that causes vision loss is often told there is nothing they can do to improve or regain the vision they have lost. A new study offers hope for stroke patients who have suffered vision loss—provided their treatment begins early.
Brain stimulation speeds up visual learning in healthy adults, helps patients re-learn how to see
One particular type of brain stimulation enhances the brain’s ability to process visual information, and may aid in faster vision recovery after a stroke or traumatic brain injury.
An eye for seeing big problems, and solving them
For patients with vision loss after a stroke or brain injury, a simple therapy device developed by professor of ophthalmology Krystel Huxlin could help train the eye to see again.
Quadcast: Rebooting the brain for better vision after a stroke
Krystel Huxlin has developed rigorous visual training that can restore some of the basic vision lost to traumatic brain injury, stroke, or a tumor. Here Huxlin discusses how this therapy teaches undamaged parts of the brain to take over.
