+RMS Overview
+=============
+
+Repeated masking suppression (RMS) is a technique for presenting stimuli below the
+threshold of consciousness for long durations. RMS is closely related to Continuous
+Flash Suppression (CFS; Tsuchiya & Koch, 2005), but relies on different visual principles
+that enable its use without any apparatus additional to a computer screen and a modern
+computer. It is based on forward- and backward-masking, separating the target stimuli and
+mask in time. In RMS participants are presented with masks interleaved with a target
+stimulus appearing at a lower contrast level. The masking stimulus is presented for
+a duration of 67 ms each time, while the target is presented for a duration of
+only 34 ms (See figure below).
+
+Tsuchiya, N., & Koch, C. (2005). Continuous flash suppression reduces negative afterimages. Nature neuroscience, 8(8), 1096-1101.
+
+In breaking RMS (bRMS) - the paradigm enabled by this software package - stimuli are
+presented long enough for the target stimulus to break through RMS and become visible.
+Participants' task is to indicate the location of the target stimulus relative to midscreen
+as soon as it becomes visible. Participants' reaction times thus serve as a measure of
+the time they needed to become conscious of the target stimulus - or its breaking time (BT).
+bRMS BTs have been demonstrated to be a valid measure of prioritization for consciousness,
+and show convergent validity with bCFS BTs (Abir & Hassin, 2020).
