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

Purpose: Adult brain plasticity, although possible, is often difficult to elicit. Training regimens
in adults can produce specific improvements on the trained task without leading to general …

Many believe that humans can 'perceive unconsciously'–that for weak stimuli, briefly
presented and masked, above-chance discrimination is possible without awareness …

Perceptual discrimination improves with practice. This 'perceptual learning'is often specific to
the stimuli presented during training,,,,, indicating that practice may alter the response …

Letters of the alphabet have auditory (phonemic) and visual (graphemic) qualities. To
investigate the neural representations of such audiovisual objects, we recorded …

The adult mammalian brain has a remarkable capacity to learn in both the perceptual and
motor domains through the formation and consolidation of memories. Such practice-enabled …

Visual perceptual learning models, as constrained by orientation and location specificities,
propose that learning either reflects changes in V1 neuronal tuning or reweighting specific …

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

Performance in visual discrimination tasks improves with practice. Although the
psychophysical parameters of these improvements have suggested the involvement of early …

Precue validity affects the performance of perceptual tasks. These spatial attention effects
have been variously attributed to facilitation of processing, capacity allocation, or noise …
