Visual masking is a technique used in cognitive research to understand pre-conscious processes (e.g., priming), consciousness, visual limits, and perception issues associated with psychopathology. This work is a short format review of research using visual masking: how it’s been used, and what these experiments have discovered. It’s a strategic fit to our other cognitive psychology titles.
