Linking visual performance and brain responses in amblyopia using 7T MRI
Spinoza researchers use ultra-high-field 7T MRI to study visual processing in people with amblyopia, revealing differences in brain activity between the amblyopic and the unaffected eye.
Research Cognitive neuroscience

Cognitive neuroscience
Cognition is short for the processing of information towards (changes in) behavior. A large part of sensory information that is received by the brain is processed and used without us becoming aware of them.
Participate in research

We investigate the ways in which we reach decisions, what happens when we are sleeping, or how the brain changes with aging. We are looking for people who are willing to undergo MRI sessions to help us in our research.
