Prolonged Visual Experience in Adulthood Modulates Holistic Face Perception
BACKGROUND Using the well-known composite illusion as a marker of the holistic perception of faces, we tested how prolonged visual experience with a specific population of faces (4- to 6-year-old children) modulates the face perception system in adulthood. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We report a face composite effect that is larger for adult than children faces in a group of adults without...
متن کاملPerceptual experience modulates cortical circuits involved in visual awareness.
Successful interactions with the environment entail interpreting ambiguous sensory information. To address this challenge it has been suggested that the brain optimizes performance through experience. Here we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate whether perceptual experience modulates the cortical circuits involved in visual awareness. Using ambiguous visual stimuli ...
متن کاملValue Conditioning Modulates Visual Working Memory Processes
Learning allows the value of motivationally salient events to become associated with stimuli that predict those events. Here, we asked whether value associations could facilitate visual working memory (WM), and whether such effects would be valence dependent. Our experiment was specifically designed to isolate value-based effects on WM from value-based effects on selective attention that might ...
متن کاملTuned by experience: How orientation probability modulates early perceptual processing.
Probable stimuli are more often and more quickly detected. While stimulus probability is known to affect decision-making, it can also be explained as a perceptual phenomenon. Using spatial gratings, we have previously shown that probable orientations are also more precisely estimated, even while participants remained naive to the manipulation. We conducted an electrophysiological study to inves...
متن کاملPerceptual Load Modulates Visual Cortex Excitability to Magnetic Stimulation
Much recent research has shown that the level of perceptual load in a task determines the perception of task-irrelevant stimuli and associated neural activity, but the mediating neural mechanisms remain unclear. Here we show that increasing the level of perceptual load in a static letter search task results in an increase in the intensity of transcranial magnetic stimulation over V5/MT required...
