My research aims to improve vision in neurological disorders, particularly stroke, through visual rehabilitation based on a knowledge of the brain mechanisms responsible for recovery of vision.
I am particularly interested in how the response to visual training may vary between individuals, and how this may help us to develop individualised visual rehabilitation.
The main questions I wish to answer with my current research are:
- How can visual rehabilitation be used to train visual search and visual perception?
- How much do neuroscience experiments tell us about how people perform visual activities in the real world?
- How much and why do people differ in their response to training in rehabilitation?
I also want to find out:
- What are the best measures of visual function in neurological disorders?
- How can neuro-imaging help us to understand the mechanisms of recovery of vision?

My current research projects include:
+ Examining eye and head movements while people with stroke-related vision loss perform daily visual activities
+ Examining brain activity using MRI during visual search and other visual tasks, in people with visual loss due to stroke
I completed my PhD thesis in 2010. It was entitled "Cortical Plasticity and Recovery of Visual Function following Optic Radiation Stroke". I developed tools such as brain imaging methods, to examine the brain mechanisms involved in visual recovery following stroke in particular, but also with relevance for other causes of visual problems.
