Temporal Summation During Backward Visual Masking

Abstract

In this paper, I plan to talk about the latest in a series of experiments on visual masking which were done over the past several years at Rochester. Peter Schiller’s very lucid presentation (P. H. Schiller, this volume) provides an excellent background for this, and gives one something to think about in the electrophysiological domain, which might be helpful in trying to explain our results. The present experiment was actually carried out by Robert Kintz, a graduate student at Rochester.
