From: Chinese characters reveal impacts of prior experience on very early stages of perception

Experimental setup. A: Schematic of the temporal course of the two experiments. A circular display of eight stimuli is flashed for 10 ms. One stimulus, the target, is indicated. After a blank interstimulus interval (ISI), a second stimulus, the mask, is shown for half a second (here, the intact mask of Experiment 2 is shown). B: The conditions of the two experiments: In the first frame of both experiments, the target is indicated either by a Chinese character or by four dots. In Experiment 1, the indicator reappears as the mask (a). In Experiment 2, the mask is another Chinese character (either intact or scrambled), shifted to the position right next to where the the target had appeared before (b).
