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.

Spatial processing and visual backward masking. [PDF]
Adv Cogn Psychol, 2008 Most theories of visual masking focus prima-rily on the temporal aspects of visual information processing, strongly neglecting spatial factors. In recent years, however, we have shown that this position is not tenable. Spatial aspects cannot be neglected in metacontrast, pattern and un-masking. Here, we review these results.

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.

Single-neuron correlates of visual consciousness in human lateral occipital complex [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsConscious perception, a critical aspect of human cognition, is assumed to emerge from a complex network of interacting brain regions that transmit information via feedforward and recurrent pathways.

Thresholds and emergent processes of visual consciousness on color and category in preschoolers and adults [PDF]
Scientific ReportsUnderstanding how perception transitions from an unconscious to conscious state is a central aim of visual consciousness research. The threshold is the boundary at which consciousness arises, and the process from unconsciousness to consciousness is the ...

Chinese Character Processing in Visual Masking
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 It has not been clarified if attention influences perception of targets in visual masking. Three forms of common masks (random pattern, para-/metacontrast, and four dots) were thus chosen in the present study and presented with character targets in three

Backward masking reveals coarse-to-fine dynamics in human V1
NeuroImage, 2023 Natural images exhibit luminance variations aligned across a broad spectrum of spatial frequencies (SFs). It has been proposed that, at early stages of processing, the coarse signals carried by the low SF (LSF) of the visual input are sent rapidly from ...

Экспериментальная психология, 2020 The model of visual backward masking in its two-color modification is applicable in the study of the mechanisms of conjugation of the processes of sensory sensation formation and realization of sensorimotor reactions.

The fastest saccadic responses escape visual masking. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Object-substitution masking (OSM) occurs when a briefly presented target in a search array is surrounded by small dots that remain visible after the target disappears.
