No association of the BDNF val66met polymorphism with implicit associative vocabulary and motor learning

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been suggested to play a major role in plasticity, neurogenesis and learning in the adult brain. The BDNF gene contains a common val66met polymorphism associated with decreased activity-dependent excretion of BD ...

Visual and visuomotor perceptual learning: two distinct mechanisms

Michael Herzog, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Fred Mast

We investigated if visual and visuomotor perceptual learning rely on the same underlying mechanisms. Observers trained with line bisection stimuli in which a center line was either closer to a right or left outer line. In the visuomotor learning condition, ...

Perceptual learning of motion discrimination by mental imagery

Michael Herzog, Fred Mast, Elisa Tartaglia, Laura Bamert

Perceptual learning can occur when stimuli are only imagined, i.e., without proper stimulus presentation. For example, perceptual learning improved bisection discrimination when only the two outer lines of the bisection stimulus were presented and the cent ...

Perceptual Learning, Roving and the Unsupervised Bias

Michael Herzog, Wulfram Gerstner, Aaron Michael Clarke

Perceptual learning is reward-based. A recent mathematical analysis showed that any reward-based learning system can learn two tasks only when the mean reward is identical for both tasks [Frémaux, Sprekeler and Gerstner, 2010, The Journal of Neuroscience, ...

Functional Requirements for Reward-Modulated Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity

Wulfram Gerstner, Nicolas Frémaux

Recent experiments have shown that spike-timing-dependent plasticity is influenced by neuromodulation. We derive theoretical conditions for successful learning of reward-related behavior for a large class of learning rules where Hebbian synaptic plasticity ...

Does perceptual learning suffer from retrograde interference?

Michael Herzog, Carl Kristoffer Aberg

In motor learning, training a task B can disrupt improvements of performance of a previously learned task A, indicating that learning needs consolidation. An influential study suggested that this is the case also for visual perceptual learning [1]. Using t ...

Perceptual learning in a nonretinotopic frame of reference

Michael Herzog, Thomas Otto

Perceptual learning is the ability to improve perception through practice. Perceptual learning is usually specific for the task and features learned. For example, improvements in performance for a certain stimulus do not transfer if the stimulus is rotated ...

Stimulus sampling as an exploration mechanism for fast reinforcement learning

Eleni Vasilaki, Walter Senn

Reinforcement learning in neural networks requires a mechanism for exploring new network states in response to a single, nonspecific reward signal. Existing models have introduced synaptic or neuronal noise to drive this exploration. However, those types o ...
