Summary
This study aims to understand how our vision improves with practice, a process called perceptual learning. Researchers will measure changes in how well people detect or tell apart visual patterns after training, and link those changes to brain activity. The study needs 400 healthy adults aged 18 to 60 with normal or corrected vision.
