The fastest saccadic responses escape visual masking. [PDF]
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.

The contribution of forward masking to saccadic inhibition of return [PDF]
Inhibition of return is the name typically given to the prolonged latency of motor responses directed to a previously cued target location. There is intense debate about the origins of this effect and its function, but most take for granted (despite lack of evidence) that it depends little on forward masking.

Backward Masking and Unmasking Across Saccadic Eye Movements [PDF]
Humans make several eye movements every second, and thus a fundamental challenge in conscious vision is to maintain continuity by matching object representations in constantly shifting retinal coordinates. One possible mechanism for visual stability is the remapping of receptive fields around saccade onset, combining pre- and postsaccadic information ...

Masking the saccadic smear [PDF]
Static visual stimuli are smeared across the retina during saccades, but in normal conditions this smear is not perceived. Instead, we perceive the visual scene as static and sharp. However, retinal smear is perceived if stimuli are shown only intrasaccadically, but not if the stimulus is additionally shown before a saccade begins, or after the saccade

Visual masking and visual integration across saccadic eye movements. [PDF]
The visual world appears unified, stable, and continuous despite rapid changes in eye position. How this is accomplished has puzzled psychologists for over a century. One possibility is that visual information from successive eye fixations is fused in memory according to environmental or spatiotopic coordinates.

Backward and forward masking associated with saccadic eye movement [PDF]
Visual masking effects on test flash thresholds were measured under real and simulated eye movement conditions to determine whether visual masking is primarily responsible for elevations in threshold that are sometimes associated with saccadic eye movements.

Motion Masking by Stationary Objects: A Study of Simulated Saccades [PDF]
Saccades are crucial to visual information intake by re-orienting the fovea to regions of interest in the visual scene. However, they cause drastic disruptions of the retinal input by shifting the retinal image at very high speeds.

Peripheral and parafoveal cueing and masking effects on saccadic selectivity in a gaze-contingent window paradigm [PDF]
The present study employed the gaze-contingent window paradigm to investigate parafoveal and peripheral cueing and masking effects on saccadic selectivity in a triple-conjunction visual search task. In the cueing conditions, the information shown outside the gaze-contingent window was restricted to the feature or feature pair shared between the target ...

Visual Perception: Saccadic Omission — Suppression or Temporal Masking? [PDF]
Although we don't perceive visual stimuli during saccadic eye movements, new evidence shows that our brains do process these stimuli and they can influence our subsequent visual perception.

Saccadic selection and crowding in visual search: stronger lateral masking leads to shorter search times [PDF]
We investigated the role of crowding in saccadic selection during visual search. To guide eye movements, often information from the visual periphery is used. Crowding is known to deteriorate the quality of peripheral information. In four search experiments, we studied the role of crowding, by accompanying individual search elements by flankers. Varying
