Visual masking is a phenomenon of visual perception. It occurs when the visibility of one image, called a target, is reduced by the presence of another image, called a mask. [ 1 ] The target might be invisible or appear to have reduced contrast or lightness .
Saccadic masking, also known as (visual) saccadic suppression, is the phenomenon in visual perception where the brain selectively blocks visual processing during eye movements in such a way that neither the motion of the eye (and subsequent motion blur of the image) nor the gap in visual perception is noticeable to the viewer.
The concept of backward masking originated in psychoacoustics, referring to temporal masking of quiet sounds that occur moments before a louder sound.. In cognitive psychology, visual backward masking involves presenting one visual stimulus (a "mask" or "masking stimulus") immediately after a brief (usually 30 ms) "target" visual stimulus resulting in a failure to consciously perceive the ...
Flash suppression is an example of illusions that render a highly visible image invisible and that are used to study the mechanisms of conscious and non-conscious visual processing. [4] Related perceptual illusions include backward masking, binocular rivalry, motion induced blindness and motion-induced interocular suppression.
In visual backward masking (VBM) a briefly presented target is followed by a mask, which decreases performance on the target. [40] VBM is a powerful experiment for schizophrenia research. [ 41 ] It allows for control over timing at millisecond level, there are well-supported theories of the underlying mechanisms, and it can be easily studied ...
Masking (personality), in which an individual changes their personality to conform to social pressure; Autistic masking, the suppression of autistic behaviors and compensation of social difficulties in autistic people; Female masking, a form of male cross-dressing; Applying or using a facial mask; Character mask, a concept in Marxist philosophy
Recordings of the primary visual cortex during contrast adaptation showed that it is the predominance of contrast sensitivity reduction that results in this adaptation. [13] Neural adaptation can affect the relative strength of the visual stimuli and can affect perceptual suppression in events such as binocular rivalry.
Binocular rivalry is a phenomenon of visual perception in which perception alternates between different images presented to each eye. [1] An image demonstrating binocular rivalry. If one views the image with red-cyan 3D glasses, the text will alternate between red and blue. 3D red cyan glasses are recommended to view this image correctly.
