A source for awareness-dependent figure-ground segregation in human prefrontal cortex.

Figure-ground modulation, i.e., the enhancement of neuronal responses evoked by the figure relative to the background, has three complementary components: edge modulation (boundary detection), center modulation (region filling), and background modulation (background suppression).
