Talk:Visual masking

This is a rather confusing review system.

Anyhow, the article is generally fine. It covers some of the main topics about visual masking. My concerns are all relatively minor.

1) Why the unnecessary French in the opening paragraph ("fin de siècle")?

2) I'm not sure at what audience this is pitched towards. The text makes use of relatively sophisticated terms. I'm not sure even a PhD in cognitive psychology would be able to read this material with good understanding.

3) I don't understand the claim that "These masking methods can be distinguished from each other by the functions they yield relating masking magnitude to the SOA separating the target and mask." Lots of conditions can give rise to different masking functions, and different methods can create lots of different types of masking functions. I don't see the connection here.

4) Is it not possible to take advantage of the browser and show a demo of some masking effects?
