We summarize the various strands of research on peripheral vision and relate them to
theories of form perception. After a historical overview, we describe quantifications of the …

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 …

Visual perception and memory are the most important components of vision processing in
the brain. It was thought that the perceptual aspect of a visual stimulus occurs in visual …

There is conflicting evidence in the literature regarding the role played by attention in
perceptual learning. To further examine this issue, we independently manipulated …

Purpose.: One critical concern about using perceptual learning to treat amblyopia is whether
training with one particular stimulus and task generalizes to other stimuli and tasks. In the …

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 …

A large proportion of the human cortex is devoted to visual processing. Contrary to the
traditional belief that multimodal integration takes place in multimodal processing areas …

Practicing a visual task commonly results in improved performance. Often the improvement
does not transfer well to a new retinal location, suggesting that it is mediated by changes …

Perceptual skills improve with daily practice (;). Practice induces plasticity in task-relevant
brain regions during an “offline” consolidation period thought to last several hours, during …

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 …
