NCT06965478

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate how our performance changes after our perceptual system is trained in a certain way ("perceptual learning"). In addition, investigators are interested in identifying and characterizing relationships between such changes and neuroimaging signals recorded from the human brain.
