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.

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 ...

Association of the nicotinic receptor α7 subunit gene (CHRNA7) with schizophrenia and visual backward masking [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2013 The nicotinic system is involved in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. However, very little is known about its genetic basis and how it relates to clinical symptoms and potentially pharmacological intervention.

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 ...

Is "backward masking" moontlik? 'n Eksperimenteel-akoestiese ondersoek
Koers : Bulletin for Christian Scholarship, 1989 In this article the technical possibility of backward masking is explored. The experimental acoustic phonetic approach is followed. The objective is to see whether words, when they are heard backwards, give a coherent meaningful message.

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 ...

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 ...

Does chronic nicotine consumption influence visual backward masking in schizophrenia and schizotypy? [PDF]
Schizophrenia Research: Cognition, 2015 Nicotine consumption is higher for people within the schizophrenia spectrum compared to controls. This observation supports the self-medication hypothesis, that nicotine relieves symptoms in, for example, schizophrenia patients.
