We study the physiology, pathophysiology and plasticity of the human visual system, using functional brain imaging, non-invasive electrophysiology, psychophysics, and ophthalmological examinations. In this way, we establish and compare detailed structure-function relationships in patient groups (e.g., macular degeneration, glaucoma, achromatopsia, achiasma, albinism) and in healthy control groups.
