Welcome to The Laboratory for Visual Neuroplasticity at the Department of Ophthalmology at Massachusetts Eye & Ear and Harvard Medical School. Our group focuses on understanding how the brain adapts to visual impairment associated with ocular as well as brain-based causes. We use various experimental techniques including behavioral assessments, eye-tracking, and brain imaging to better understand how individuals living with visual impairment interact with their visual world.
