Abstract
Individuals with migraine show subtle defects in a range of visual tasks compared to nonmigraineurs. Increased neuronal noise can account for some of these deficits. To examine the generality of increased noise in migraine, masking effects were compared in migraineurs and headache-free controls using a shape discrimination task, thought to involve processing in extrastriate cortical areas.
