Perceptual restoration of masked speech in human cortex [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2016 AbstractHumans are adept at understanding speech despite the fact that our natural listening environment is often filled with interference. An example of this capacity is phoneme restoration, in which part of a word is completely replaced by noise, yet listeners report hearing the whole word.

Masking of figure-ground texture and single targets by surround inhibition: a computational spiking model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 A visual stimulus can be made invisible, i.e. masked, by the presentation of a second stimulus. In the sensory cortex, neural responses to a masked stimulus are suppressed, yet how this suppression comes about is still debated.

Masking Level Difference and Electrophysiological Evaluation in Adults with Normal Hearing
International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2020 Introduction The auditory structures of the brainstem are involved in binaural interaction, which contributes to sound location and auditory figure-background perception.

The roles of mask luminance and perceptual grouping in visual backward masking
Journal of Vision, 2009 Visual backward masking is a commonly used technique in vision research and psychology. There are two distinct types of masking. Either masking is strongest for a simultaneous presentation of the target and the mask (A-type masking) or masking is strongest when the mask trails the target (B-type masking).

Peeling Plaids Apart: Context Counteracts Cross-Orientation Contrast Masking [PDF]
, 2009 Background: Contrast discrimination for an image is usually harder if another image is superimposed on top. We asked whether such contrast masking may be enhanced or relieved depending on cues promoting integration of both images as a single pattern ...

PLoS ONE, 2019 The neural representation and perceptual salience of tonal signals presented in different noise maskers were investigated. The properties of the maskers and signals were varied such that they produced different amounts of either monaural masking release,

Auditory temporal resolution and backward masking in musicians with absolute pitch
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.

Perceptual deficits and inattention in schizophrenia [PDF]
, 2008 A number of investigators have found perceptual deficits in schizophrenic subjects. It has also been indicated that those with schizophrenia suffer from reduced attention.
