Current areas of study include:

Identifying biomarkers

Understanding the pathophysiology

Identifying potential treatments, which includes both noninvasive and pharmacological interventions

Methods include:

• Brain imaging using the most powerful state-of-the-art neuroimaging techniques, including a 7-Tesla MRI

Utilizing Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy modified for VSS symptoms (MBCT-vision) to alter the brain’s visual network and neural pathways to alleviate symptoms

Utilizing visual tests and blood samples

Electroencephalography (EEG)

Neuromodulation

Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Therapy (NORT) to strengthen visual function, alleviate symptoms, and improve quality of life

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) / Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)
