  bibo_abstract:
  - The U-shaped metacontrast function may result from the superimposition of two
    monotonic components which reflect the effects of mechanisms similar to the peripheral
    and central processes suggested for backward pattern masking by Turvey (Psychol
    Rev 80:1-52, 1973). In an experiment using the disc-ring paradigm, it was demonstrated
    that the decreasing and increasing branches of the metacontrast function are differently
    affected by the exposure duration of the mask and a task-irrelevant stimulus (distractor)
    appearing in the contralateral visual hemifield. The phenomenal representation
    of masking is different for the two parts of the curve. It is suggested that masking
    in the second part of the masking function, but not in the first, is related to
    the control of visual attention. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights
