The possibility of leveraging video games for enhancing behavior and brain function has led
to an emerging new field situated at the crossroads of cognitive neuroscience, health …

Amblyopia is a neuro-developmental disorder of the visual cortex that arises from abnormal
visual experience early in life. Amblyopia is clinically important because it is a major cause …

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

Although we are continuously bombarded with visual input, only a fraction of incoming visual
events is perceived, remembered or acted on. The neural underpinnings of various forms of …

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

Prior studies have demonstrated that correlated variability changes with cognitive processes
that improve perceptual performance. We tested whether correlated variability covaries with …

Previous work has demonstrated that action video game training produces enhancements in
a wide range of cognitive abilities. Here we evaluate a possible mechanism by which such …

Every instant of perception depends on a cascade of brain processes calibrated to the
history of sensory and decisional events. In the present work, we show that human visual …

Abstract Between 1-5: 100 people worldwide have never experienced normotypic vision due
to a condition called amblyopia, and about 1: 4000 suffer from inherited retinal dystrophies …

Video game play is remarkably ubiquitous in today's society given its recent emergence only
in the late 1950s. While this fast evolution could exemplify the power of play, video games …
