Vision Loss Impact due to Stroke on Steering when Driving
Research Question:
How does losing your vision after a stroke affect steering when driving compared to
people without vision loss?
Basic Study Information
Purpose:
Stroke is the main cause of damage to the part of the brain that processes visual
information from the eyes. This can lead to vision loss even when there is no damage
to the eyes. The purpose of this research is to better understand how people compensate
for this type of vision loss by studying the steering behavior of people when driving.
Using a novel Virtual Reality (VR) program, we will gather data from people while
they drive in a simulated environment on the computer. If you are a resident of the
US or Canada, have a driver's license or have had a driver's license in the past,
and had a stroke that affected your vision when you were 21-80 years of age, you may
be eligible to participant.
