Although challenging, adults can learn non-native phonetic contrasts with extensive training
[1, 2], indicative of perceptual learning beyond an early sensitivity period [3, 4]. Training can …

It is important to identify sources of variability in processing to understand decision-making

Abstract Models of the representation of numerosity information used in discrimination tasks
are integrated with a diffusion decision model. The representation models assume …

The oculomotor system utilizes color extensively for planning saccades. Therefore, we
examined how the oculomotor system actually encodes color and several factors that …

Location specific perceptual learning can transfer to a new location if the new location is
trained with a secondary task that by itself does not impact the performance of the primary …

Contrast is the most fundamental property of images. Consequently, any comprehensive
model of biological vision must incorporate this attribute and provide a veritable description …
