Visual Plasticity Following Brain Lesions
Vision Improvement Through Behavioral Rehabilitation And Neuroplasticity Training
About This Trial
The VIBRANT (Vision Improvement through Behavioral Rehabilitation And Neuroplasticity Training) study is a prospective, double-blind, crossover design (within-subject) in participants with homonymous hemianopia-a type of visual field loss resulting from damage to the post-chiasmatic visual pathways. It aims to investigate whether transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) combined with perceptual learning-based training has potential for improving visual impairments.

Treatments Being Tested
transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS)
Stimulation location: bilateral human middle temporal complex (hMT+). Stimulation parameters: 1 mA current intensity, with a frequency range of 101-640 Hz.
Sham Stimulation
Stimulation location: bilateral human middle temporal complex (hMT+). Stimulation parameters: Ramp up stimulation at 1mA with a frequency range of 101-640Hz for the first 30 seconds followed by no current for the remainder of the duration.
Perceptual learning-based training
A motion discrimination task, judging the global direction of moving dot stimuli with two different coherence levels.
