Neural Mechanisms Underlying Blindsight in Monkeys KU Leuven
After damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) the patients experiences clinical blindness in the corresponding part of the visual field. Nevertheless, several visuo-motor functions persist due to the functionality of multiple V1-independent pathways. Recent evidence suggest that brain plasticity can be promoted through training and/or stimulation to promote partial recovery of visual functions. The present project investigates the neural ...
