In dichoptic visual masking, the target is presented to one eye and the mask to the other, whereas in monoptic visual masking, both eyes are presented with the target and the mask. It was found that the masking effect was just as strong in dichoptic as it was in monoptic masking, and that it showed the same timing characteristics. [6] [7] [8]
Masking (or the masking effect) is a visual style used in comics, first described by American cartoonist Scott McCloud in his book Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art. McCloud argues that characters with simple but recognizable designs, which he terms "iconic" characters, allow readers to project themselves into the story by using the ...
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.
A similar phenomenon can occur when a masking stimulus precedes a target stimulus rather than follows it: this is known as forward masking, [1] or visual forward masking when the stimulus is visual. While not consciously perceived, the masked stimulus can nevertheless still have an effect on cognitive processes such as context interpretation.
Hollow-face illusion (alternate version) 3D model of a hollow face. The Hollow-Face illusion (also known as Hollow-Mask illusion) is an optical illusion in which the perception of a concave mask of a face appears as a normal convex face.
This may function, McCloud infers, as a mask, a form of projective identification. His explanation is that a familiar and minimally detailed character allows for a stronger emotional connection and for viewers to identify more easily. One of the book's concepts is "The Big Triangle", a tool for thinking about different styles of comics art.
"The potential dangers of using at-home LED masks include headaches, eye strain, sleep disturbances, insomnia and mild visual side effects," she explained.
Klotz and Neumann (1999) demonstrated response priming effects under complete masking of the prime. [4] Extending these findings to other time-courses of visual masking, Vorberg et al. [7] varied the time-course of masking by controlling the relative duration of primes and targets. In their experiments, targets were arrows pointing left or ...
