Visual Masking: An Integrative Approach (Oxford Psychology Series)

By Bruno G. Breitmeyer

This timely volume is the first comprehensive and integrated empirical, theoretical, historical, and methodological treatment of visual masking. The approach is psychobiological, relating perceptuo-cognitive phenomena to neurophysiological and neuroanatomical findings to present a coherent, lucid acocunt of both. The book includes a history of visual masking; descriptions of experimental methods and findings; discussions of the mechanisms and processes inferred from these findings, and the theories that have been proposed to account for them; and an examination of visual masking in the context of phylogenic and ontogenic development and purposive visual behavior observed in the natural environment.
