While humans have an incredible capacity to acquire new skills and alter their behavior as a
result of experience, enhancements in performance are typically narrowly restricted to the …

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

Over the past 20 years, the proposal that immersive media, such as video games, can be
leveraged to enhance brain plasticity and learning has been put to the test. This expanding …

It is controversial whether the adult primate early visual cortex is sufficiently plastic to cause
visual perceptual learning (VPL). The controversy occurs partially because most VPL studies …

Abstract Van der Groen, O., Potok, W., Wenderoth, N., Edwards., G., Mattingley, JB and
Edwards, D. Using noise for the better: the effects of transcranial random noise stimulation …

The visual expertise of adult humans is jointly determined by evolution, visual development
and visual perceptual learning. Perceptual learning refers to performance improvements in …

Blindsight is the ability of patients with clinically blind field defects, caused by damage to the
primary visual cortex V, to detect, localise and even discriminate visual stimuli that they deny …

It is important to understand the balance between cortical plasticity and stability in various
systems and across spatial scales in the adult brain. Here we review studies of adult …

Vision loss after retinal or cerebral visual injury (CVI) was long considered to be irreversible.
However, there is considerable potential for vision restoration and recovery even in …

Damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) causes homonymous visual-field loss long
considered intractable. Multiple studies now show that perceptual training can restore visual …
