Performance on mask decision task (% correct)
- only structures with the same size are - integration is independent of awareness

Conclusions
- Only similar structures are integrated across frames
- Integration is independent of awareness of the spatial structure
- Seemingly complex grouping mechanisms can be explained by low-level neural interactions
