Extending the shine-through effect to classical masking paradigms
A vernier, presented for a short time, shines through a following grating if the grating contains nine and more elements but remains largely invisible for smaller gratings. Therefore, extended grating masks yield, surprisingly, less masking than smaller ones. Here, we show that this mask size effect is not unique to grating masks. Masking diminishes if the size of classical pattern-, noise-, li...
متن کاملThe Shine-Through Masking Paradigm Is a Potential Endophenotype of Schizophrenia
BACKGROUND To understand the genetics of schizophrenia, a hunt for so-called intermediate phenotypes or endophenotypes is ongoing. Visual masking has been proposed to be such an endophenotype. However, no systematic study has been conducted yet to prove this claim. Here, we present the first study showing that masking meets the most important criteria for an endophenotype. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIP...
متن کاملTiming of contextual modulation in the shine-through effect
Contextual elements can fundamentally change the perception of an embedded target. A recently discovered masking effect, shine-through, allows one to investigate the precise dynamics of contextual modulation of the human visual system. In this shine-through effect, a vernier precedes a grating comprising more than seven elements for display times as short as 10 ms. The vernier appears as a "shi...
متن کاملShine-through: temporal aspects
If a vernier stimulus precedes a grating for a very short time, the vernier either remains invisible, but may bequeath some of its properties to the grating (feature inheritance), or might shine through keeping its features - depending on the number of grating elements [Herzog, M. H. & Koch, C., 2001. Seeing properties of an invisible element: feature inheritance and shine-through. Proceedings ...
