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 …

Experience-dependent plasticity is closely linked with the development of sensory function;
however, there is also growing evidence for plasticity in the adult visual system. This review …

Task-specific improvement in performance after training is well established. The finding that
learning is stimulus-specific and does not transfer well between different stimuli, between …

Recent studies have shown that perceptual learning has the potential to treat amblyopia. In
this study we tested whether a recent perceptual learning technique that improved visual …

Using a suprathreshold binocular summation paradigm developed by J. Ding and G.
Sperling (2006, 2007) for normal observers, we investigated suprathreshold cyclopean …

What underlies contrast sensitivity improvements in adults with anisometropic amblyopia
following perceptual learning in grating contrast detection? In this paper, we adopted the …

Natural patterned early visual input is essential for the normal development of the central
visual pathways and the visual capacities they sustain. Without visual input, the functional …

Playing action-based video games has been shown to improve attentional processing. A
study now finds that it also induces long-lasting improvements in contrast sensitivity, a basic …

Our vision is limited by two main factors: the quality of the image that is transferred from the
eye to the brain, and the quality of the neural processing in the visual cortex, which is …

Adaptive methods are commonly used in psychophysical research for detection and
discrimination (see Leek, 2001; Treutwein, 1995, for reviews). In recent years, researchers …
