On-line simulations of models for backward masking

Five simulations of quantitative models of visual backward masking are available on the Internet at http://www.psych.purdue.edu/~gfrancis/Publications/BackwardMasking/. The simulations can be run in a Web browser that supports the Java programming language. This article describes the motivation for making the simulations available and gives a brief introduction as to how the simulations are used. The source code is available on the Web page, and this article describes how the code is organized.
