Reports published in Vision Research during the late years of the 20th century described
surprising effects of long-term sensitivity improvement with some basic visual tasks as a …

Perceptual learning refers to the phenomenon that practice or training in perceptual tasks
often substantially improves perceptual performance. Often exhibiting stimulus or task …

Responses of neurons in early visual cortex change little with training and appear
insufficient to account for perceptual learning. Behavioral performance, however, relies on …

Humans have a remarkable capacity to learn and adapt, but surprisingly little research has
demonstrated generalized learning in which new skills and strategies can be used flexibly …

Purpose.: Perceptual learning has been shown to be effective in improving visual functions
in the normal adult visual system, as well as in adults with amblyopia. In this study, the …

Extensive training on simple tasks such as fine orientation discrimination results in large
improvements in performance, a form of learning known as perceptual learning. Previous …

Improvements of visual hyperacuity are a key focus in research of perceptual learning. Of
particular interest has been the specificity of visual hyperacuity learning to the particular …

External noise paradigms have been widely used to probe different levels of visual
processing (Pelli & Farell, 1999). A basic assumption of this paradigm is that the processing …

One standard interpretation of networks of cortical neurons is that they form dynamical
attractors. Computations such as stimulus estimation are performed by mapping inputs to …

Can the adult visual system recruit—that is, learn to use—new visual cues for the purpose of
constructing visual appearances? How can one test whether cue recruitment occurs? And …
