Characterization of multiple factors in training and plasticity in central vision loss

This project aims to understand how training different vision factors gives rise to different profiles of behavioral and brain changes in patients with macular degeneration and in a control model of macular degeneration (MD). Specific Aim (s): Aim 1: Behavioral changes from training different vision domains.

Aim 2: Neural changes from training different vision domains and relationship to behavioral changes.

Aim 3: Behavioral and neural changes in macular degeneration (MD).
