The present study examined the role of exogenous and endogenous attention in task
relevant visual perceptual learning (TR-VPL). VPL performance was assessed by examining …

Visual perception is heavily influenced by “top-down” factors, including goals, expectations,
and prior knowledge about the environmental context. Recent research has demonstrated …

Mental disorders with physical symptoms, eg somatic symptom disorder, are characterized
by altered interoceptive accuracy (IAc), which can be explained by individual differences in …

People routinely perform multiple visual judgments in the real world, yet, intermixing tasks or
task variants during training can damage or even prevent learning. This paper explores why …

Perceptual learning, the improved sensitivity via repetitive practice, is a universal
phenomenon in vision and its neural mechanisms remain controversial. A central question is …

Most clinical diagnoses of stroke are based on the persistence of symptoms relating to
consciousness, language, visual-field loss, extraocular movement, neglect (visual), motor …

Perceptual learning, which improves stimulus discrimination, typically results from training
with a single stimulus condition. Two major learning mechanisms, early cortical neural …

Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS), a relatively recent addition to the field of non-
invasive, electrical brain stimulation, has been shown to improve perceptual and cognitive …

The role of feedback during training is a topic of great theoretical importance in perceptual
learning. Feedback can be provided externally by the environment or internally by the …

Perceptual learning (PL), often characterized by improvements in perceptual performance
with training that are specific to the stimulus conditions used during training, exemplifies …
