This is a great opportunity for all to gain experience participating in a clinical research study. All participation would not only contribute to advancing our understanding of perceptual learning and how the brain processes vision, but also holds the potential to improve outcomes for those with central vision loss.
If you or someone you know may be interested, please consider participating.
