About the Author
Susan R. Barry is a distinguished neuroscientist and professor of biology at Mount Holyoke College, where she has dedicated her career to unraveling the mysteries of human perception and brain plasticity. Born with a condition that limited her to two-dimensional vision, Barry's personal quest to achieve stereopsis—true three-dimensional sight—forms the heart of her acclaimed memoir, Fixing My Gaze: A Scientist's Journey Into Seeing in Three Dimensions. In this groundbreaking work, she intertwines her intimate story of vision therapy and newfound depth perception with scientific insights into how the brain adapts and rewires itself. Barry's writing bridges the gap between personal narrative and rigorous science, inspiring readers to reconsider the boundaries of human experience and the power of neuroplasticity. Her contributions extend beyond the page, influencing fields from psychology to education, and she continues to advocate for innovative approaches to sensory rehabilitation.
