A Revelatory Account Of The Brain'S Capacity For Changewhen Neuroscientist Susan Barry Was Fifty Years Old, She Experienced The Sense Of Immersion In A Three Dimensional World For The First Time. Skyscrapers On Street Corners Appeared To Loom Out Toward Her Like The Bows Of Giant Ships. Tree Branches Projected Upward And Outward, Enclosing And Commanding Palpable Volumes Of Space. Leaves Created Intricate Mosaics In 3D.Barry Had Been Crosseyed And Stereoblind Since Early Infancy. After Half A Century Of Perceiving Her Surroundings As Flat And Compressed, On That Day She Saw The City Of Manhattan In Stereo Depth For First Time In Her Life. As A Neuroscientist, She Understood Just How Extraordinary This Transformation Was, Not Only For Herself But For The Scientific Understanding Of The Human Brain. Scientists Have Long Believed That The Brain Is Malleable Only During A 'Critical Period' In Early Childhood. According To This Theory, Barry'S Brain Had Organized Itself When She Was A Baby To Avoid Double Vision And There Was No Way To Rewire It As An Adult. But Barry Found An Optometrist Who Prescribed A Littleknown Program Of Vision Therapy; After Intensive Training, Barry Was Ultimately Able To Accomplish What Other Scientists And Even She Herself Had Once Considered Impossible. Dubbed 'Stereo Sue' By Renowned Neurologist Oliver Sacks, Susan Barry Tells Her Own Remarkable Journey And Celebrates The Joyous Pleasure Of Our Senses.
