Differences in perceptual masking between humans and rats [PDF]
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.

Neural correlates of perceptual similarity masking in primate V1 [PDF]
eLife, 2023 Visual detection is a fundamental natural task. Detection becomes more challenging as the similarity between the target and the background in which it is embedded increases, a phenomenon termed ‘similarity masking’.

Neural correlates of auditory perceptual awareness under informational masking. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2008 Our ability to detect target sounds in complex acoustic backgrounds is often limited not by the ear's resolution, but by the brain's information-processing capacity. The neural mechanisms and loci of this "informational masking" are unknown.

Similar neural and perceptual masking effects of low-power optogenetic stimulation in primate V1 [PDF]
eLife, 2022 Can direct stimulation of primate V1 substitute for a visual stimulus and mimic its perceptual effect? To address this question, we developed an optical-genetic toolkit to ‘read’ neural population responses using widefield calcium imaging, while ...

You Can Stand Under My Umbrella: Cognitive Load in Second-Language Reading [PDF]
Behavioral SciencesSecond-language (L2) written processing has often been linked to cognitive disfluency, resembling fluency disruptions caused by perceptual challenges, such as visual degradation. This study used Virtual Reality to investigate whether cognitive disfluency

Metacontrast masking of symmetric stimuli. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThis study investigated whether symmetry perception is vulnerable to metacontrast masking and whether such masking selectively disrupts feedback-dependent visual processes.

PLoS ONE, 2023 Informational masking has been investigated using the detection of an auditory target embedded in a random multi-tone masker. The build-up of the target percept is influenced by the masker and target properties.

Perceptual and attentional impairments of conscious access involve distinct neural mechanisms despite equal task performance [PDF]
eLifeThis study investigates failures in conscious access resulting from either weak sensory input (perceptual impairments) or unattended input (attentional impairments).

Information-Theoretic Approaches in EEG Correlates of Auditory Perceptual Awareness under Informational Masking [PDF]
Biology, 2023 In informational masking paradigms, the successful segregation between the target and masker creates auditory perceptual awareness. The dynamics of the build-up of auditory perception is based on a set of interactions between bottom–up and top–down ...
