Dynamic, continuous multitasking training leads to task-specific improvements but does not transfer across action selection tasks
The ability to perform multiple tasks concurrently is an ever-increasing requirement in our
information-rich world. Despite this, multitasking typically compromises performance due to …

Multi-stage cortical plasticity induced by visual contrast learning
Perceptual learning, the improved sensitivity via repetitive practice, is a universal
phenomenon in vision and its neural mechanisms remain controversial. A central question is …

Transfer of training benefits requires rules we cannot see (or hear).
Although humans show a remarkable ability to make rapid and accurate decisions in novel
situations, it is surprisingly difficult to observe transferable benefits when training decision …
