Exogenous Attention Enables Perceptual Learning.
Practice can improve visual perception, and these improvements are considered to be a form of brain plasticity. Training-induced learning is time-consuming and requires hundreds of trials across multiple days. The process of learning acquisition is understudied. Can learning acquisition be potentiated by manipulating visual attentional cues? We developed a protocol in which we used task-irrelev...
متن کاملExogenous attention facilitates location transfer of perceptual learning.
Perceptual skills can be improved through practice on a perceptual task, even in adulthood. Visual perceptual learning is known to be mostly specific to the trained retinal location, which is considered as evidence of neural plasticity in retinotopic early visual cortex. Recent findings demonstrate that transfer of learning to untrained locations can occur under some specific training procedure...
متن کاملShifting spatial attention makes you flip: Exogenous visual attention triggers perceptual alternations during binocular rivalry.
Although it has been argued that visual attention and the dynamics of binocular rivalry are closely linked, strong evidence for this proposition is still lacking. Here, we investigate how perceptual alternations during binocular rivalry are affected by spatial attention by employing a cuing paradigm. We show a tight link between the occurrence of perceptual alternations and the spatiotemporal p...
متن کاملAttention and Perceptual Learning Modulate Contextual Influences on Visual Perception
Brightness discrimination thresholds and facilitation by lateral interaction were measured in five human observers and two monkeys. The subjects judged the brightness of one of four peripherally seen lines against a reference. This experiment was performed both when the observer was cued to the position of the test line (focused attention) and when there was no cue (distributed attention). Disc...
متن کاملTexture segregation by visual cortex: Perceptual grouping, attention, and learning
A neural model called dARTEX is proposed of how laminar interactions in the visual cortex may learn and recognize object texture and form boundaries. The model unifies five interacting processes: region-based texture classification, contour-based boundary grouping, surface filling-in, spatial attention, and object attention. The model shows how form boundaries can determine regions in which sur...
