One of the most exciting recent findings in neuroscience has been the capacity for neural
plasticity in adult humans and animals. Studies of perceptual learning have provided key …

Amblyopia is the most common form of impairment of visual function affecting one eye, with
a prevalence of about 1–5% of the total world population. Amblyopia usually derives from …

Human perceptual learning is classically thought to be highly specific to trained stimuli's
retinal location. Together with evidence that specific learning effects can result in …

Damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) or its immediate afferents results in a dense
scotoma, termed cortical blindness (CB). CB subjects have residual visual abilities, or …

Amblyopia is a visual disorder due to an abnormal pattern of functional connectivity of the
visual cortex and characterized by several visual deficits of spatial vision including …

Perceptual learning has been shown to produce an improvement of visual acuity (VA) and
contrast sensitivity (CS) both in subjects with amblyopia and refractive defects such as …

Purpose.: We investigated whether perceptual learning in adults with amblyopia could be
enabled to transfer completely to an orthogonal orientation, which would suggest that …

Perceptual learning, a process in which training improves visual discrimination, is often
specific to the trained retinal location, and this location specificity is frequently regarded as …

Visually guided behavior depends on (1) extracting and (2) discriminating signals from
complex retinal inputs, and these perceptual skills improve with practice [1]. For instance …

Motion direction learning is known to be specific to the trained direction. However, in this
study we used our recently developed TPE (training-plus-exposure) method to demonstrate …
