Perceptual learning is regarded as a manifestation of experience-dependent plasticity in the
sensory systems, yet the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. We measured the …

Highlights•Perceptual Learning research has identified numerous processes that change
with learning.•Identified mechanisms of Perceptual Learning are not mutually …

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

Psychophysical and neuroimaging studies suggest that perceptual learning may affect
activity in primary visual cortex (V1). Yet, it remains unclear whether such changes involve …

Perceptual learning refers to the phenomenon that practice or training in perceptual tasks
often substantially improves perceptual performance. Often exhibiting stimulus or task …

Increasing evidence suggests that plastic changes underlying skill learning may occur at
early stages of neural processing. However, whether visual perceptual learning (PL) is …

Repeated experience with a visual stimulus can result in improved perception of the
stimulus, ie, perceptual learning. To understand the underlying neural mechanisms of this …

Perceptual learning in adult humans and animals refers to improvements in sensory abilities
after training. These improvements had been thought to occur only when attention is focused …

Visual perceptual learning through practice or training can significantly improve
performance on visual tasks. Originally seen as a manifestation of plasticity in the primary …

In studies of perceptual learning (PL), subjects are typically highly trained across many
sessions to achieve perceptual benefits on the stimuli in those tasks. There is currently …
