DOI: 10.1016/0042-6989(85)90093-8Amblyopia (lazy eye) is a common developmental disorder in which vision is impaired in one eye and cannot be corrected with glasses. An eye turn (strabismus) or an optical problem can cause amblyopia to develop in an otherwise healthy eye. If these problems are detected and treated when a child is young enough, amblyopia can often be prevented or reversed by patching the unaffected fellow eye; however, not all children respond well to this patching therapy. Treatment failures may occur because patching treats only some of the problems in amblyopia. Most amblyopia treatment and research focuses on problems with form perception, such as visual acuity (the smallest character that can be seen on an eye chart). In contrast, our research focuses on problems with motion perception, depth perception, and eye gaze control. We are using customized computer games, naturalistic movie watching, virtual-reality displays, and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to modernize how amblyopia is viewed and treated.
Being able to adapt movements to changes in the environment is essential for children to learn and carry out everyday tasks such as feeding themselves and brushing their teeth. This learning requires visuomotor adaptation, in which motor commands are adjusted in response to visual feedback. We are using a reaching task with a computer mouse to study the typical maturation of visuomotor adaptation in children and its disruption by amblyopia. We are also using magnetoencephalography (MEG), a quiet and safe brain imaging method, to examine how and when the visual and motor systems communicate during successful versus unsuccessful movements and how excitatory and inhibitory connections among different brain regions coordinate goal-directed actions.
Dyslexia is a common developmental disorder in which children have unexpected difficulty learning to read. Children with dyslexia have poor school performance, but they may also develop mental health problems. Therefore, increasing reading skills in childhood is very important to their overall health as adults. We are using computer games and fMRI to determine the effect of dyslexia on perceptual and cognitive skills, in addition to reading. We are also using fMRI to examine the brain networks associated with reading, reading difficulty, and reading improvement following an intensive school-based reading intervention program.
