Attention is the important ability to flexibly control limited computational resources. It has
been studied in conjunction with many other topics in neuroscience and psychology …

Five important trends have emerged from recent work on computational models of focal
visual attention that emphasize the bottom-up, image-based control of attentional …

As video-game playing has become a ubiquitous activity in today's society, it is worth
considering its potential consequences on perceptual and motor skills. It is well known that …

We propose that explicit vision advances in reverse hierarchical direction, as shown for
perceptual learning. Processing along the feedforward hierarchy of areas, leading to …

Perceptual learning can be defined as practice-induced improvement in the ability to
perform specific perceptual tasks. We previously proposed the Reverse Hierarchy Theory as …

Human beings have an amazing capacity to learn new skills and adapt to new
environments. However, several obstacles remain to be overcome in designing paradigms …

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 …

A central question in visual neuroscience is what circuits generate the responses of neurons
in the primary visual cortex (V1). V1 neurons respond best to oriented stimuli of optimal size …

What are the processes, from conception to adulthood, that enable a single cell to grow into
a sentient adult? The processes that occur along the way are so complex that any attempt to …

The visual processing of behaviorally relevant stimuli is enhanced through top-down
attentional feedback. One possibility is that feedback targets early visual areas first and the …
