Object-substitution masking (OSM) refers to when the delayed disappearance of a sparse
mask that spatially surrounds but does not overlap the target impairs target perception. Two …

Object-substitution masking (OSM) occurs when a briefly displayed target in a search array
is surrounded by a mask, which remains onscreen after the target has disappeared. It has …

To keep track of dynamically changing objects in one's environment, it is necessary to
individuate them from other objects, both temporally and spatially. Spatially, objects can be …

When the human brain is confronted with complex and dynamic visual scenes, two pivotal
processes are at play: visual attention (the process of selecting certain aspects of the scene …

Our conscious awareness of visual events does not arise instantaneously. Previous studies
on backward masking have investigated dynamic internal processes making targets visible …

The visual system is constantly bombarded with dynamic input. In this context, the creation of
enduring object representations presents a particular challenge. We used object-substitution …

It was long thought that a key characteristic of object substitution masking (OSM) was the
requirement for spatial attention to be dispersed for the mask to impact visual sensitivity …

Object individuation: is the process whereby the brain infers that dynamic input reflects
multiple discrete objects, rather than a single, continuing object over time. Object substitution …

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 …

Object substitution masking (OSM) involves reduced perceptibility by a briefly lingering mask
despite no spatial target-mask overlap. Two primary accounts for this phenomenon posit …
