Figure 1From: Chinese characters reveal impacts of prior experience on very early stages of perceptionRationale of the experiment. Chinese and German participants have different perceptual priors in a backward masking task with Chinese characters.

Will the different priors have an influence on the visual time course already immediately after the ultrashort stimulus presentations?Back to article page
