Dr. Susan Barry

Dr. Susan Barry is a neurobiologist and vision scientist known for her work on brain plasticity and how the brain can adapt and change throughout life. She famously documented her own experience of overcoming lifelong vision problems, such as stereopsis (depth perception), through visual therapy. Her research highlights that the brain's wiring isn’t fixed after childhood, and with targeted exercises, individuals can improve or regain visual functions. Her work emphasizes the brain's remarkable ability to rewire itself, encouraging new perspectives on learning, recovery, and neuroplasticity throughout adulthood.
