Perceptual Learning

The purpose of this study is to investigate how our performance changes after our perceptual system is trained in a certain way ("perceptual learning"). In addition, investigators are interested in identifying and characterizing relationships between such changes and neuroimaging signals recorded from the human brain.

Restorative visual rehabilitation is frequently used to enhance the visual development and function of children with low vision. An important strategy within this field is visual stimulation, which is particularly used for infants and toddlers with low vision, as well as for children who have both developmental disabilities and low vision.This study has two primary objectives.The first objective is to examine the effect of using intensive, specific, and flickering black-and-white checkerboard patterns to enhance visual function in children with mild to moderate low vision. The second objective is to develop a visual stimulation program tailored for children with severe or profound multiple disabilities and visual impairments, and to evaluate its effectiveness.
