项目摘要

Project Summary This application requests funds to support the Biennial International Perceptual Learning Workshop, to be held August 15-20, 2021 in Girdwood, Alaska. Robust improvements in visual perception can be induced by practice on a variety of visual tasks. This visual perceptual learning has the potential to provide powerful insight into the organization and flexibility of the mammalian visual system. The recognition that visual perceptual learning can be clinically applied to improve visual functions with age and disease have intensified recent efforts to optimize and characterize training paradigms and standardize outcome measurements. In addition, the persistence of visual perceptual learning in the adult visual system contributes to a revision of our understanding of how the capacity for plasticity is retained in mature sensory cortices. The overall goal of this international conference is to provide a forum for discussion and debate of recent advances, long-term debates and new directions for the field of perceptual learning. This conference has become an important opportunity for individuals across the globe with expertise in perceptual learning ranging from psychophysics, neurophysiology, functional imaging, computational neuroscience, and perceptual rehabilitation to receive critical commentary of new unpublished work, and to influence and learn from each other. The meeting serves an important need as the field of perceptual learning is highly interdisciplinary and there are no other forums that bring together researchers across the many disciplines that contribute to the field. The meeting also has been successful in enhancing interactions between junior and senior investigators, providing opportunities for new collaborations and influencing subsequent work by identifying the most important issues in the field. The specific goals for the 2021 Visual Perceptual Learning Workshop are: Specific Aim 1: To highlight new and exciting developments on the frontiers of perceptual learning. Specific Aim 2: To promote communication and interactions between meeting attendees Specific Aim 3: To achieve the highest scientific quality and diversity, by optimizing a balance of gender, age, ethnicity, and nationality.

项目概要本申请请求资金支持两年一度的国际感知学习研讨会， 2021 年 8 月 15 日至 20 日在阿拉斯加州戈德伍德举行。通过对各种视觉任务的练习可以促进视觉感知的强劲改善。这视觉感知学习有潜力提供对组织和灵活性的强大洞察力哺乳动物的视觉系统。认识到视觉感知学习可以应用于临床为了随着年龄和疾病的增长而改善视觉功能，最近加强了优化和描述培训范式的特征并标准化结果测量。此外，坚持不懈的成人视觉系统中的视觉感知学习有助于修正我们对如何进行视觉感知的理解可塑性的能力保留在成熟的感觉皮层中。本次国际化的总体目标会议旨在为讨论和辩论最新进展、长期辩论和感知学习领域的新方向。这次会议已成为全球具有专业知识的个人的重要机会感知学习，涵盖心理物理学、神经生理学、功能成像、计算神经科学和知觉康复以获得新的未发表作品的批判性评论，以及互相影响、互相学习。会议服务了作为感知领域的重要需求学习是高度跨学科的，没有其他论坛可以将跨学科的研究人员聚集在一起对该领域做出贡献的许多学科。此次会议还成功地增强了初级和高级研究人员之间的互动，为新的合作和通过确定该领域最重要的问题来影响后续工作。 2021年视觉感知学习工作坊的具体目标是：具体目标 1：突出感知学习前沿的新的、令人兴奋的发展。具体目标2：促进与会者之间的沟通和互动具体目标 3：通过优化性别平衡，实现最高的科学质量和多样性，年龄、种族和国籍。
