Shibata et al. reported that humans could learn to repeatedly evoke a stimulus-associated
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) activity pattern in visual areas V1/V2 through
which visual perceptual learning was achieved without stimulus presentation. Contrary to
their attribution of visual improvements to neuroplasticity in adult V1/V2, our Hebbian
learning interpretation of these data explains the attainment of better perceptual decisions
without plastic V1/V2.
