Our interdisciplinary research group uses non-invasive electrophysiology, fMRI and psychophysics to study physiology, pathophysiology, and plasticity of the human visual system at the retinal, subcortical, and cortical level.
Methodology
- Electroretinogram & evoked cortical potentials
- Functional magnetic resonance imaging at 1.5, 3, & 7 Tesla
- Psychophysics
