The VIBRANT Study  

 (Vision Improvement through Behavioral Rehabilitaton And Neuroplasticity Training)

Every year, over 12 million people worldwide suffer from stroke, affecting one in four adults at some point in their lives. Given that nearly half of the cerebral cortex is involved in visual processing, cortical damage affecting vision can significantly impact the quality of life for stroke survivors. However, current diagnostic and treatment methods are often limited in addressing these visual deficits. The VIBRANT study integrates visual behavior (psychophysics, eye-tracking), neuroimaging (structural and functional MRI), and neurorehabilitation (transcranial electrical stimulation) with the long-term goal of achieving precision vision recovery.
