Visual perceptual learning through practice or training can significantly improve
performance on visual tasks. Originally seen as a manifestation of plasticity in the primary …

An emerging hypothesis postulates that internal noise is a key factor influencing perceptual
abilities in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Given fundamental and inescapable effects of …

Highly aberrated keratoconic (KC) eyes do not elicit the expected visual advantage from
customized optical corrections. This is attributed to the neural insensitivity arising from …

Spatial cues allow animals to selectively attend to relevant visual stimuli while ignoring
distracters. This process depends on a distributed neuronal network, and an important …

Previous neuroimaging research has reported increased internal (neural) noise in sensory
systems of autistic individuals. However, it is unclear if this difference has behavioural or …

Cognitive control is often viewed as an ability or as an interaction between higher and lower
level systems. This article takes an instance perspective, articulating the view that cognitive …

Internal noise is a fundamental limiting property on visual processing. Internal noise has
previously been estimated with the equivalent noise paradigm using broadband white noise …

We tested an information foraging framework to characterize the mechanisms that drive
active (visual) sampling behavior in decision problems that involve multiple sources of …

Noise-masking experiments are widely used to investigate visual functions. To be useful,
noise generally needs to be strong enough to noticeably impair performance, but under …

External noise paradigms are widely used to characterize sensitivity by comparing the effect
of a variable on contrast threshold when it is limited by internal versus external noise. A …
