Amblyopia is a developmental abnormality that results from physiological alterations in the
visual cortex and impairs form vision. It is a consequence of abnormal binocular visual …

A growing body of research suggests that cognitive functions, such as attention and memory,
drive perception by tuning sensory mechanisms to relevant acoustic features. Long-term …

Practice improves discrimination of many basic visual features, such as contrast, orientation,
and positional offset [1–7]. Perceptual learning of many of these tasks is found to be retinal …

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

Revealing the relationships between perceptual representations in the brain and
mechanisms of adult perceptual learning is of great importance, potentially leading to …

We recently showed that improved perceptual performance on a visual motion direction–
discrimination task corresponds to changes in how an unmodified sensory representation in …

The authors present a theory of stochastic interactive parallel processing with special
emphasis on channel interactions and their relation to system capacity. The approach is …

Perceptual inference is biased by foreknowledge about what is probable or possible. How
prior expectations are neurally represented during visual perception, however, remains …

Categorization is a vitally important skill that people use every day. Early theories of
category learning assumed a single learning system, but recent evidence suggests that …

The mechanisms of perceptual learning are analyzed theoretically, probed in an orientation-
discrimination experiment involving a novel nonstationary context manipulation, and …
