I am a Research Assistant for Paediatric Neuroimaging on the KOALA (Kids with Occlusion therapy for AmbLyopiA) project. I am working with Rebecca Willis, Betina Ip, and Holly Bridge, based at the Oxford University Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging.

Amblyopia is the most common cause of vision loss in children, and is commonly treated using Occlusion Therapy (also known as 'patching'). This study is exploring how Occlusion Therapy changes signals in the brain to understand how the treatment works. We hope that these findings will lead to better treatment for Amblyopia in the future.
