Table 1.

Overview of the visibility of the target during different epochs in the trial per condition vis (vision only), mem (memory only) and vismem (vision and memory). A plus sign means that the target is visible, a minus sign that it is invisible. During the flicker, the whole screen successively turns black and white so that none of the virtual objects are visible at that time.
