Ione Fine is a Professor at the University of Washington's Department of Psychology. Her research primarily focuses on the neurophysiological processes underlying visual perception and perceptual learning. She investigates how long-term visual deprivation affects cognition and the plasticity of adult perceptual learning. Dr. Fine is actively engaged in the development of stimulation protocols for retinal prostheses and explores sight recovery technologies. Her work employs a range of methodologies including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), psychophysics, and computational modeling. Dr. Fine has published extensively in journals such as Scientific Reports and the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, contributing to a deeper understanding of visual processing and the brain's adaptability. Her lab is known for studying the neural reorganization that occurs in individuals who are blind or deaf and how this impacts their perceptual capabilities.
