Figure 1.
Experimental stimuli displays.
The texture stimulus (left) was composed of three adjacent diagonal bars (vertically or horizontally aligned) embedded within a background of horizontal bars, with a letter “T” or “L” as the fixation. The mask (right) was made of randomly oriented “V”, with superimposed “T” and “L” at the fixation position.
