Dissociable components of visual perceptual learning characterized by non-invasive brain stimulation: Stage 1 Registered Report.

ABSTRACT: Visual perceptual learning (VPL), the training-induced improvement in visual tasks, has long been considered the product of neural plasticity at early and local stages of signal processing. However, recent evidence suggests that multiple networks and mechanisms, including stimulus- and task-specific plasticity, concur in generating VPL. Accordingly, early models of VPL, which characterized learning as being local and mostly involving early sensory areas, such as V1, have been updated to embrace these newfound complexities, acknowledging the involvement on parietal (i.e. intra-parietal sulcus) and frontal (i.e. dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) areas, in aspects concerning decision-making, feedback integration and task structure. However, evidence of multiple brain regions differentially invo
