Figure 16.
The time-course of events during the Standing Wave of Invisibility illusion (SWI). A flickering target (a bar) of 50 ms duration is preceded and succeeded by two counter-phase flickering masks (two bars that abut and flank the target, but do not overlap it) of 100 ms duration that are presented at the time optimal to both forward and backward mask the target.
