Research Overview
I began my PhD in October 2017 exploring the cause of macular sparing using novel psychophysical techniques and structural/functional brain imaging. My project also aims to investigate the optimal stimuli for mapping residual visual function.

Research Topics and Related Projects
Loss of half of the visual field (hemianopia) is a common finding following stroke or brain injury affecting the primary visual cortex. Despite being apparently ‘blind’ in this hemifield, some patients apparently retain some vision close to fixation in the blind field. This is known as 'macular sparing'.
