Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in visual perceptual learning and plasticity
TL;DR: It has become evident that changes in visual areas and regions beyond the visual cortex can take place during VPL, and much about the neural substrates of VPL is learnt.
Journal ArticleDOI
Location-specific cortical activation changes during sleep after training for perceptual learning
Yuko Yotsumoto,Yuka Sasaki,Yuka Sasaki,Patrick Chan,Patrick Chan,Christos E. Vasios,Giorgio Bonmassar,Nozomi Ito,José E. Náñez,Shinsuke Shimojo,Shinsuke Shimojo,Takeo Watanabe +11 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that as far as V1 is concerned, only the trained region is involved in improving task performance after sleep, and improvement of task performance measured subsequently to the post-training sleep session was significantly correlated with the amount of the trained-region-specific fMRI activation in V1 during sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perceptual learning of motion leads to faster-flicker perception
TL;DR: Control tasks demonstrate that CFFT changes are tightly coupled with improvements in discriminating the direction of motion stimuli, and are likely related to plasticity in low-level visual areas that are specialized to process motion signals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decoding Reveals Plasticity in V3A as a Result of Motion Perceptual Learning
Kazuhisa Shibata,Li Hung Chang,Dongho Kim,José E. Náñez,Yukiyasu Kamitani,Takeo Watanabe,Yuka Sasaki +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that VPL of a global motion detection task involves plasticity in a specific visual cortical area using pattern classification analysis on functional magnetic resonance imaging signals.
BookDOI
Bilingualism and Cognition: Informing Research, Pedagogy, and Policy.
Eugene E. Garcia,José E. Náñez +1 more
TL;DR: The authors presented research-based knowledge on language acquisition and learning to leverage the strengths and achievements of bilingual children, by understanding the neurocognitive mechanisms of the bilingual brain and the need for socioculturally inclusive pedagogy, educational researchers and practitioners can better serve this rapidly growing population.
