Excited to share our latest paper in @iScience_CP with @mlisi6, @iris_groen & @TesDekker
We found profound differences in how children and adults can use prior knowledge to perceive hidden images ...

A bit late, but we need to highlight the outstanding keynote delivered by @TesDekker, honoring the remarkable life and contributions of the late Oliver Braddick, an absolute pioneer in infant vision research, closely connected to the history of the Child Vision Lab! #CVRS2023

Brilliant talk by @LowVisionNews at at #CVRS2023 on empowering children to measure their own vision! Mike, @TesDekker, @AnnegretNoor, and @petejonze explored the feasibility of self-testing through telemedicine, opening up new possibilities for better accessibility and care!

Roni's (@maimon_roni) excellent talk on "Neural Adaptations in Achromatopsia and It's Implications for Gene Therapy" at the 18th biennial Child Vision Research Society Meeting in London is generating a lot of interest! #CVRS2023

TL;DR
Using brain imaging and behavioural methods, we show that gene therapy has partly restored the function of the retina’s cone receptors in 2 children who were born completely colour blind.
