Is pattern masking predicted by the cross-correlation between signal and mask?
We sought to determine whether the cross-correlation between signals and masks consisting of Gaussian modulated grating patterns is consistent with observed psychophysical masking effects. Our experimental results support this relationship, and suggest further specifications for the determinants of pattern masking effects.
