The first day, chaired by Prof Parker, was themed ‘Vision: function, dysfunction and restoration.’ The day included talks on gene therapy in retinal disease, the use of retinal implants, the effects of bilateral damage to the visual system and decision-related modulation of signal in visual cortical areas.
The second day, ‘Neuropsychological dissections of cognitive functions,’ was chaired by Prof Masud Husain, who has recently joined the University in a joint appointment between NDCN and Experimental Psychology. Talks covered topics including language recovery after stroke, functional plasticity in attentional networks and the fractionation of attention.
Both days were well attended with many external visitors as well as Oxford Researchers.
