fMRI results for CH11 left and right (treated) eye with and without experiencing phosphenes.

<p>(A) fMRI results from the CH11 left eye, when presented with the same checkerboard stimuli and phosphenes were absent, showed limited areas of activations detectable only at a less stringent statistical threshold (Uncorrected p<0.010, cca ≥100 mm²). (C) fMRI results from the right eye (treated eye) when presented with the same checkerboard stimuli and no phosphene was reported. CH11 presented with significant activations for her treated eye (Uncorrected p<0.01, cca>100 mm²) as compared to her untreated eye (left). However, although there is noticeably more activation for CH11's treated eye, the magnitude and distribution of cortical activations for the treated eye when experiencing phosphene (D) are significantly more. (B) fMRI results showed significant widespread (fdr<3%, Corrected p<0.003, cca ≥1000 mm²) bilateral activations in all areas of visual cortex extending from medial to lateral and posterior to anterior aspects of the occipital cortex after presentation of checkerboard stimuli to the left eye while experiencing phosphene. (D) Similar to the left eye, visual cortex showed significant widespread responses (fdr<3%, Corrected p<0.004, cca ≥1000 mm²) to the checkerboard stimuli presented to the right eye (treated eye) while CH11 reported seeing phosphenes.
