Auditory forward and backward masking interaction [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1980 Recent research on forward masking and backward masking has led us to the hypothesis that combined forward and backward masking may involve at least two different types of interaction patterns. The previously documented interaction results in masking are greater than predicted by the simple summation of masking effects obtained with each masker alone ...

High-frequency neural oscillations and visual processing deficits in schizophrenia [PDF]
, 2013 Visual information is fundamental to how we understand our environment, make predictions, and interact with others. Recent research has underscored the importance of visuo-perceptual dysfunctions for cognitive deficits and pathophysiological processes in

Neural Mechanisms of the Conscious and Subliminal Processing of Facial Attractiveness
Brain Sciences, 2023 The purpose of this study was to investigate the neural activity evoked by facial attractiveness in conscious and subliminal conditions. The 41 participants judged facial attractiveness in a conscious condition and a subliminal condition (backward ...

Multiple masking in a backward masking paradigm [PDF]
Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society, 1978 A study was made of the effects of multiple visual masking upon variations in mask position, word frequency, and display on time. Ten subjects were shown five-letter words, four or five letters of which were immediately masked. These words, half of which were classified as frequent and the other half as infrequent, were displayed at different display ...

Differences in perceptual masking between humans and rats
Brain and Behavior, 2019 Introduction The perception of a target stimulus can be impaired by a subsequent mask stimulus, even if they do not overlap temporally or spatially.

Testing quantitative models of backward masking [PDF]
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2004 We analyzed the relationship between U-shaped and monotonic-shaped masking functions, using both computer simulations of quantitative models and experimental data Our analysis revealed that quantitative models of backward masking predict that U-shaped masking functions should appear for weak masks and monotonic masking functions should appear for ...

Fearful faces have a sensory advantage in the competition for awareness [PDF]
, 2015 Only a subset of visual signals give rise to a conscious percept. Threat signals, such as fearful faces, are particularly salient to human vision.

Memory model of information transmitted in absolute judgment [PDF]
, 2011 Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the popular “information transmitted” interpretation of absolute judgments, and to provide an alternative interpretation if one is needed.

A Unified Theory of Psychophysical Laws in Auditory Intensity Perception
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Psychophysical laws quantitatively relate perceptual magnitude to stimulus intensity. While most people have accepted Stevens’s power function as the psychophysical law, few believe in Fechner’s original idea using just-noticeable-differences (jnd) as a ...

Visual Masking: A Reliable Measure for the Assessment of Cognitive Dysfunction in the Elderly? [PDF]
, 2017 Reliable assessment of cognitive dysfunction in the elderly is a prerequisite for the evaluation of treatment of age-related cognitive decline. Psychophysical thresholds are known to be more reliable than psychometric tests, as assessed by stability of ...
