Maintaining the strong pedagogy, abundant student-friendly examples, and engaging
conversational style of the previous editions, the sixth edition of this introductory textbook …

Visual masking is a technique used in cognitive research to understand pre-conscious
processes (priming, for example), consciousness, visual limits, and perception issues …

Viewers can rapidly extract a holistic semantic representation of a real-world scene within a
single eye fixation, an ability called recognizing the gist of a scene, and operationally …

In vision research metacontrast masking is a widely used technique to reduce the visibility of
a stimulus. Typically, studies attempt to reveal general principles that apply to a large …

Attention operates perceptually on items in the environment, and internally on objects in
visuospatial working memory. In the present study, we investigated whether spatial and …

A metacontrast masking paradigm was employed to provide evidence for the richness and
diversity of our visual experience. Square-and diamond-shaped targets were followed by …

Using masking techniques combined with electrophysiological recordings is a promising
way to study neural correlates of visual awareness, as shown in recent studies. Here I …

Scientists studying in the fields of AI and neuroscience can learn much from each other, but
unfortunately, since about the 1950s, it has been mostly one-sided: neuroscientists have …

An increasing number of studies use subjective reports of visibility, so as to delineate the
domain of perceptual awareness. It is generally assumed that degrees of visibility can be …

In metacontrast masking target visibility is modulated by the time until a masking stimulus
appears. The effect of this temporal delay differs across participants in such a way that …
