Fortgeschrittene Perimetrie zur Evaluierung der Neuroplastizität im visuellen Kortex

Project Details

Description

We will assess the validity and reliability of our newly developed diagnostic instrument for visual field diagnosis. To this end, we will locate the blind spot of normal sighted participants as a marker for the test/retest reliability and validity of the instrument. This will be the first proof that the new diagnostic tool captures blind areas accurately and precisely. Furthermore, we will compare the results of our instrument with established instruments for visual field diagnosis. In a second step we will implement the developed algorithms developed on head-mounted display (HMD) hardware. This will significantly improve the portability and versatility of the new diagnostic instrument. The reliability and the validity will be assessed – including elderly and clinical samples. In a third step we will assess whether restitution training can indeed improve the size of the visual field of anopia patients. The unprecedented accuracy and objectivity of the eye-tracking supported perimeter will allow us to ascribe a change in the size of the visual field to real recovery rather than to compensatory behavior or biases in the post-training diagnosis. This will reveal the true effects of visual restitution training and will advance our understanding of neuroplasticity in the human visual cortex.
