If a vernier stimulus precedes a grating for a very short time, the vernier either remains invisible, but may bequeath some of its properties to the grating (feature inheritance), or might shine through keeping its features - depending on the number of grating elements [Herzog, M. H. & Koch, C., 2001. Seeing properties of an invisible element: feature inheritance and shine-through. Proceedings ...

Differentiation of hepatic tumors is often evaluated in terms of qualitative diagnostic performance. The signal intensity patterns of hepatic masses are known to differ on certain T2-weighted imaging sequences. In this study, we investigated the quantitative analysis of hepatic masses by using an index called the "T2-shine ratio." Fast-spin-echo (FSE), half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo...

The shine-through effect occurs when a brief offset vernier target is followed by a grating of non-offset vernier elements. Rather than mask the target, this stimulus sequence produces a percept of the target vernier occluding the mask elements. We analyzed the dynamics of the 3D LAMINART model of depth perception and found that it explains the appearance of shine-through for these stimuli. The...
