    Visual field loss affects approximately one-third of stroke patients, significantly impairing daily activities and quality of life.

  • 2

    Homonymous hemianopia is the most common visual field defect post-stroke, resulting from unilateral retrochiasmal lesions.

  • 3

    Current treatments for visual field deficits are compensatory, lacking restorative options that significantly reverse visual impairments.

  • 4

    The novel cross-frequency brain stimulation protocol enhances visual training effects, improving motion discrimination and visual field borders.

  • 5

    This study demonstrates that cf-tACS can boost perceptual training efficacy, restoring visual motion processing in adult stroke patients.
