Visual perceptual learning (VPL) is long-term performance increase resulting from visual
perceptual experience. Task-relevant VPL of a feature results from training of a task on the …

There is accumulating evidence from behavioral, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging
studies that the acquisition of motor skills involves both perceptual and motor learning …

Prior studies have shown that patients suffering from chronic Low Back Pain (cLBP) have
impaired somatosensory processing including reduced tactile acuity, ie reduced ability to …

This review article deals with some effects of neck muscle proprioception on human
balance, gait trajectory, subjective straight-ahead (SSA), and self-motion perception. These …

The early stages of motor skill acquisition are often marked by uncertainty about the sensory
and motor goals of the task, as is the case in learning to speak or learning the feel of a good …

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is one of the most widely studied forms of neural plasticity, and
is thought to be the principle mechanism underlying long-term memory and learning in the …

During the past two decades growing evidence indicates that brain oscillations in the alpha
band (~ 10 Hz) not only reflect an “idle” state of cortical activity, but also take a more active …

Cognition and perception are closely coupled to alpha power, but whether there is a link
between alpha power and perceptual learning efficacy is unknown. Here we show that …

Much has been debated about whether the neural plasticity mediating perceptual learning
takes place at the sensory or decision-making stage in the brain. To investigate this, we …

Repetitive focal vibrations can induce positive and persistent after-effects. There is still no
satisfactory interpretation of the underlying mechanisms. A rationale, which can provide …
