Early psychologists, including Galton, Cattell, and Spearman, proposed that intelligence and
simple sensory discriminations are constrained by common neural processes, predicting a …

The incidence of cortically induced blindness is increasing as our population ages. The major
cause of cortically induced blindness is stroke affecting the primary visual cortex. While the …

Numerous behavioral studies have shown that visual function can improve with training,
although perceptual refinements generally require weeks to months of training to attain. This, …

Stroke damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) causes a loss of vision known as hemianopia
or cortically-induced blindness. While perimetric visual field improvements can occur …

Damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) causes homonymous visual-field loss long
considered intractable. Multiple studies now show that perceptual training can restore visual …

Segregation of objects from their backgrounds is a fundamental visual function and one that
is particularly effective when objects are in motion. Theoretically, suppressive center-…

Damage to the primary visual cortex typically causes cortical blindness (CB) in the hemifield
contralateral to the damaged hemisphere. Recent evidence indicates that visual training …

The effects of attention, as well as its functional utility, are particularly prominent when selecting
among multiple stimuli that compete for processing resources. However, existing studies …

Attentional influence over perception is particularly pronounced when sensory stimulation is
ambiguous, where attention can reduce stimulus uncertainty and promote a stable …

Stroke damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) causes severe visual deficits, which benefit
from perceptual retraining. However, whereas training with high-contrast stimuli can locally …
