The Visual Perception & Plasticity (VPP) Lab studies neuroplasticity in healthy and clinical populations across the lifespan. We use a combination of psychophysics, eye tracking, fMRI, brain stimulation (tRNS), computational modeling, online crowdsourcing “big-data”, and neuropsychological approaches in our research.
Our current focus is the VIBRANT Study (Vision Improvement through Behavioral Rehabilitaton And Neuroplasticity Training), a multimodal effort integrating visual behavior, neuroimaging, and neurorehabilitation to achieve precision vision recovery in patients with lesions in the visual cortex.

Who we are
Who we are
We are a Translational Cognitive Neuroscience Lab in the Department of Neurology 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 vision rehabilitation strategies for patients with brain lesions, such as stroke, brain tumors, and epilepsy surgery.
