Contrast Masking

Contrast Masking is a visual masking phenomenon in which the detectability or discriminability of a target stimulus is impaired by the presence of a surrounding or superimposed stimulus of similar spatial and temporal characteristics, differing primarily in contrast, thereby suppressing neural responses through contrast-gain mechanisms in early visual processing stages.
