Rapid and long-lasting reduction of crowding through training

A Yashar, J Chen, M Carrasco - Journal of Vision, 2015 - jov.arvojournals.org

nearby objects. Recent studies have shown that crowding can be alleviated after several …

[HTML][HTML] Vernier perceptual learning transfers to completely untrained retinal locations after double training: a “piggybacking” effect

R Wang, JY Zhang, SA Klein, DM Levi… - Journal of vision, 2014 - iovs.arvojournals.org

specific to the trained retinal location, and this location specificity is frequently regarded as …

Offline transcranial direct current stimulation improves the ability to perceive crowded targets

G Chen, Z Zhu, Q He, F Fang - Journal of Vision, 2021 - jov.arvojournals.org

[HTML][HTML] Confidence-based integrated reweighting model of task-difficulty explains location-based specificity in perceptual learning

BC Talluri, SC Hung, AR Seitz, P Series - Journal of vision, 2015 - arvojournals.org
