This research study is investigating how the brain recovers and restores vision after a stroke damages the visual cortex (the part of your brain that processes sight). Researchers will use advanced brain imaging to see what happens in your brain during this recovery process, and they'll test whether vision training exercises—done at home on your computer—can help improve your remaining vision.
When a stroke damages the visual cortex, people often lose part of their vision permanently. Doctors don't fully understand how the brain can sometimes partially recover this lost vision, or how training might help. This study aims to unlock those answers so future treatments can help stroke survivors regain more of their sight.

If you qualify, you'll visit the research lab for 3–5 days for detailed brain imaging scans, vision testing, and training sessions. Between lab visits, you'll complete vision training exercises on your own computer at home for several months, with periodic check-ins from the study team by phone or email for support and guidance. The entire study involves both in-person testing and home-based training to track how your vision and brain function change over time.
