Neuroplasticity affects the visual cortex and alters visual perception
Evidence demonstrates that neuroplasticity affects the visual cortex and can be harnessed through training, virtual reality, and rehabilitation therapies to alter and improve visual perception.
Multiple studies demonstrate that the visual cortex undergoes structural, synaptic, and functional remodeling (neuroplasticity) in response to training, sensory deprivation, or targeted therapy, resulting in measurable alterations in visual perception and processing.
