Practicing certain visual tasks leads, as a result of a process termed “perceptual learning,” to a significant improvement in performance. Learning is specific for basic stimulus features …
Previous studies have shown that perceptual learning can substantially alter the response properties of neurons in the primary somatosensory and auditory cortices. Although …
