Our research project “Virtual Reality for enhanced Visual Rehabilitation” (VR4eVR: say ‘VR forever’) aims at finding out how virtual reality (and fMRI) may facilitate visual rehabilitation for hemianopia, which may be necessary after a stroke. Some details on the background … Continued
Visual rehabilitation for hemianopia, which may be necessary after a stroke, can take a long time. Wouldn’t it be very useful if one could do this in the comfort of one’s own home? The answer is obviously ‘yes’, but how … Continued
There is a need for simpler methods of perimetry – the measurement of retinal sensitivity at different visual field locations. In a recent paper in the journal Vision Research, Anne Vrijling, Minke de Boer and colleagues describe how contrast affects … Continued
From June 20 until June 24th 2022, our EU program OptiVisT will hold its first in-person workshop in Groningen. We’re looking forward to the presentations of our early stage researchers, as well as the symposium “From Insights to Solutions”. In … Continued
The European Union has awarded our EU training program EGRET-AAA. The latter stands for European Glaucoma REsearch Training program for Accelerating the Approach to Advanced Glaucoma. EGRET-AAA will produce innovative treatments to protect and restore vision in patients with progressive eye disease glaucoma. By using revolutionary … Continued
The Promise project, a collaboration of UMCG’s LEO, Royal Dutch Visio, the RUG, and Reperio has been nominated for the Health Valley Bridge price. The price highlights projects that use technology to ensure longer independent living. The SONDA technology for … Continued
Are you, like us, fascinated by vision, the brain and technology and consider it important to help visually impaired people? Do you have an inquisitive mind, and are you looking for a PhD position embedded in an international innovative training … Continued
