The strength of feedback processing is associated with resistance to visual backward masking during Illusory Contour processing in adult humans [PDF]
NeuroImage, 2022 Re-entrant feedback processing is a key mechanism of visual object-recognition, especially under compromised viewing conditions where only sparse information is available and object features must be interpolated.

Population responses in V1 encodes stimulus visibility in backward masking [PDF]
iScienceSummary: The visibility of a briefly presented stimulus is diminished when followed by a mask, a phenomenon known as backward masking (BM). As the interval between the stimulus and the mask (stimulus-to-mask onset asynchrony [SOA]) becomes shorter, the ...

Electrophysiological Correlates of Subliminal Perception of Facial Expressions in Individuals with Autistic Traits: A Backward Masking Study [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017 People with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show difficulty in social communication, especially in the rapid assessment of emotion in faces. This study examined the processing of emotional faces in typically developing adults with high and low levels of ...

Auditory temporal resolution and backward masking in musicians with absolute pitch [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 Among the many questions regarding the ability to effortlessly name musical notes without a reference, also known as absolute pitch, the neural processes by which this phenomenon operates are still a matter of debate.

Visual Backward masking as an endophenotype of psychosis [PDF]
European Psychiatry, 2023 Introduction Schizophrenia is a heterogeneous disease that is strongly influenced by genetic predisposition. A large variety of candidate genes have been identified, each of which, however, explains only a small proportion of the genetic risk for ...

Pre-saccadic perception: Separate time courses for enhancement and spatial pooling at the saccade target. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 We interact with complex scenes using eye movements to select targets of interest. Studies have shown that the future target of a saccadic eye movement is processed differently by the visual system.

Illusory shrinkage of objects under backward masking [PDF]
i-PerceptionBackward masking is a powerful phenomenon that can reduce, often to zero, the visibility of targets. Here, we show that when the masking is less than completely effective so that the target remains visible, the masking has other effects, specifically ...

Schizophrenia and visual backward masking: a general deficit of target enhancement [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 The obvious symptoms of schizophrenia are of cognitive and psychopathological nature. However, schizophrenia affects also visual processing which becomes particularly evident when stimuli are presented for short durations and are followed by a masking ...
