psychophysical thresholds, and in the present paper corresponding alterations in …

Perceptual learning improves performance on many tasks, from orientation discrimination to
the identification of faces. Although conventional wisdom considered sensory cortices as …

Numerous psychophysical studies have described perceptual learning as long-lasting
improvements in perceptual discrimination and detection capabilities following practice …

As we begin to acquire a new motor skill, we face the dual challenge of determining and
refining the somatosensory goals of our movements and establishing the best motor …

Until recently, it was commonly believed that within the early stages of sensory processing,
the functional properties of neurons and the circuitry of sensory cortex are subject to …

Recent studies of the improvement of perceptual performance as a function of training—
perceptual learning—have provided new insights into the neuronal substrates of this type of …

In this review, we summarize recent evidence that perceptual learning can occur not only
under training conditions but also in situations of unattended and passive sensory …

Previous studies have shown that perceptual learning can substantially alter the response
properties of neurons in the primary somatosensory and auditory cortices. Although …
