The Aguirre lab studies the neural basis of normative and recovered high-level visual function. Our primary technique is functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), although individual projects also employ behavioral, animal, or patient based research. The projects are complementary, in that they characterize normative neural function for vision and how this can be altered through experience and training, including perturbations that are maximally negative (cortical damage) and positive (restoration of vision in the congenitally blind).
Our lab is within the Department of Neurology 
of the University of Pennsylvania .
The lab is affiliated with the following Penn organizations
