A Hebbian learning rule accurately predicts the changes in synaptic organization induced by retinal axons that grow to the wrong position in the visual thalamus.
Human electroencephalography reveals that neural speech tracking is enhanced by minimal background noise and that this enhancement is independent of attention and generalizes across noise types and sound-delivery systems.
Implicitly learned spatial priors shape early visual cortex responses by suppressing potential distractions before stimuli appear, revealing a proactive mechanism that may enhance attentional control.
