Perceptual learning: learning to see.
Perceptual learning in vision has been found to be highly specific for simple stimulus attributes, implying highly specific modifications in the nervous system. The type of specificity found (location, orientation, eye) implied plasticity at very early stages of visual processing, where processing modules were believed to be hard-wired and task independent. Recent studies show, however, that le...
متن کاملLearning to see words.
Skilled reading requires recognizing written words rapidly; functional neuroimaging research has clarified how the written word initiates a series of responses in visual cortex. These responses are communicated to circuits in ventral occipitotemporal (VOT) cortex that learn to identify words rapidly. Structural neuroimaging has further clarified aspects of the white matter pathways that communi...
متن کاملVisual Neuroscience: How Do Moths See to Fly at Night?
A new study shows that moth vision trades speed and resolution for contrast sensitivity at night. These remarkable neural adaptations take place in the higher-order neurons of the hawkmoth motion vision pathway and allow the insects to see during night flights.
متن کاملLearning to see inequity in science.
I have often wondered whether I have persisted as a scientist in part because I was not a very keen observer of inequity in science during my education and early career. It was rather late in my scientific training that I began to see inequities in science, which I’ll loosely define here as unfairness or injustice that is linked to an individual’s personal characteristics such as gender, cultur...
متن کاملVisual Development: Learning Not to See
A recent study shows that young infants are sensitive to image differences that older children and adults cannot detect. Learning not to notice such image differences is crucial for developing a visual system that recognizes materials correctly.
