While fMRI has identified which regions of interests (ROI) are functionally active during a vergence task (the inward or outward rotation of eyes), the functional connectivity between ROIs is less understood. This study tested the following hypotheses: 1) significant functional connectivity would be observed between the frontal eye fields (FEF), the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) and the cerebellar...
Convergence insufficiency is a vision dysfunction in which people have difficulties performing visual tasks close to them such as reading. Symptoms include headaches, eye strain, blurred and double vision, and visual fatigue. Four subjects participated in 18 hours of vision rehabilitation consisting of home and laboratory sessions. During a longitudinal study, subjects performed a simple vergence...
This study investigated the underlying components of vergence responses in binocularly healthy individuals and subjects with convergence insufficiency (CI). Convergent and divergent eye movements were recorded from seven subjects using step stimuli. In addition, four CI subjects participated in six weeks of vision rehabilitation. The goal of this study was to use an independent component analysis...
Adaptation is critical to the survival of any species and is present in many systems within the brain. Rehabilitation can evoke neuroplasticity through adaptive mechanisms. Four subjects with the vision dysfunction of convergence insufficiency where two have mild traumatic brain injury and two were congenital participated in 18 hours of vision training. Clinical, behavioral, functional imaging and...
Convergence insufficiency (CI) is a prominent vergence dysfunction. The purpose of this study is to investigate the underlying components of vergence responses in CI patients. Two, four and six degree convergent steps at two different initial positions and four degree divergent step stimuli were presented to three CI subjects. The goal was to use an independent component analysis (ICA) algorithm to...
