Summary
Ione Fine is a professor and neuroscientist with over a decade of experience investigating the computational and neurophysiological basis of visual processing using fMRI, patient studies, psychophysics, and computational modeling. Her lab focuses on sensory plasticity—probing perceptual learning in adulthood and neural reorganization after blindness or deafness—and on translating that knowledge into improved stimulation protocols for retinal prostheses. Based at the University of Washington with prior appointments at Leeds and USC, she links functional changes to neuroanatomical structure using advanced imaging methods including BOLD, MRS, and high-resolution structural scans. Her work bridges basic science and clinical application, uniquely pairing studies of human visual deprivation with engineering approaches to restore vision.
