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.

Training-induced recovery of low-level vision followed by mid-level perceptual improvements in developmental object and face agnosia [PDF]

, 2015
Long-term deprivation of normal visual inputs can cause perceptual impairments at various levels of visual function, from basic visual acuity deficits, through mid-level deficits as contour integration and motion coherence, to high-level face and object ...

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).

Blinded by the load: attention, awareness and the role of perceptual load. [PDF]

, 2014
What is the relationship between attention and conscious awareness? Awareness sometimes appears to be restricted to the contents of focused attention, yet at other times irrelevant distractors will dominate awareness.

Supra-threshold perception and neural representation of tones presented in noise in conditions of masking release.

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,

Schizophrenia alters intra-network functional connectivity in the caudate for detecting speech under informational speech masking conditions

BMC Psychiatry, 2018
s Background Speech recognition under noisy “cocktail-party” environments involves multiple perceptual/cognitive processes, including target detection, selective attention, irrelevant signal inhibition, sensory/working memory, and speech production ...

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.

Perceptual Errors Support the Notion of Masking by Object Substitution [PDF]

Perception, 2019
Two experiments examined the effect of object substitution masking (OSM) on the perceptual errors in reporting the orientation of a target. In Experiment 1, a four-dot trailing mask was compared with a simultaneous-noise mask. In Experiment 2, the four-dot and noise masks were factorially varied. Responses were modelled using a mixture regression model

Nonconscious Influences from Emotional Faces: A Comparison of Visual Crowding, Masking, and Continuous Flash Suppression

Frontiers in Psychology, 2012
In the study of nonconscious processing, different methods have been used in order to renderstimuli invisible. While their properties are well described, the level at which they disruptnonconscious processing remains unclear.

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 ...
