Abstract

BACKGROUND: The sensitivity and discrimination capacity of sensory systems can be improved by perceptual training. Most individuals demonstrate tactile perceptual learning, but with marked differences in efficiency. Here, we investigated the neural mechanisms underlying individual differences in tactile learning efficiency at the network level.
