Visual Perception and Plasticity Lab
The Visual Perception and Plasticity (VPP) Lab studies neuroplasticity in heathy and clinical populations across the lifespan. We use a combination of psychophysics, eye tracking, 3T fMRI and 7T layer fMRI, brain stimulation (tDCS, tRNS, and/or TMS), computational modeling, online crowdsourcing “big-data”, developmental and neuropsychological approaches in our research.
Who we are
We are a Translational Cognitive Neuroscience Lab in the Department of Neurology and Center for Brain Plasticity and Recovery at Georgetown University Medical Center led by Dr. Tina Liu. Our research group shares a common passion to understand the core principles of neuroplasticity in humans. Our long-term goal is to leverage this knowledge to develop precision rehabilitation strategies for patients with brain lesions, such as stroke, epilepsy surgery, and brain tumors.
Latest news
The Visual Perception and Plasticity (VPP) Lab is recruiting grad students through the Georgetown Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience (IPN), a postdoctoral researcher, and multiple research interns to study visual plasticity in stroke patients for precision recovery.
