2. Flicker fusion threshold - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_fusion_threshold

   The flicker fusion threshold, also known as critical flicker frequency or flicker fusion rate, is the frequency at which a flickering light appears steady to the average human observer. It is a concept studied in vision science, more specifically in the psychophysics of visual perception. A traditional term for "flicker fusion" is "persistence ...

3. Persistence of vision - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistence_of_vision

   Persistence of vision is the optical illusion that occurs when the visual perception of an object does not cease for some time after the rays of light proceeding from it have ceased to enter the eye. [1] The illusion has also been described as "retinal persistence", [2] "persistence of impressions", [3] simply "persistence" and other variations ...

4. Stroboscopic effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroboscopic_effect

   Stroboscopic effect is one of the particular temporal light artefacts. In common lighting applications, the stroboscopic effect is an unwanted effect which may become visible if a person is looking at a moving or rotating object which is illuminated by a time-modulated light source. The temporal light modulation may come from fluctuations of ...

5. Flicker vertigo - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_vertigo

   Flicker vertigo. Flicker vertigo, sometimes called the Bucha effect, is "an imbalance in brain-cell activity caused by exposure to low-frequency flickering (or flashing) of a relatively bright light." [1] It is a disorientation -, vertigo -, and nausea -inducing effect of a strobe light flashing at 1 Hz to 20 Hz, approximately the frequency of ...

6. Menace response - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menace_response

   Menace response. The menace response is one of three forms of blink reflex. It includes the reflexive blinking that occurs specifically in response to the rapid approach of an object. [1] The menace response comprises blinking of the eyelids, in order to protect the eyes from potential damage, but may also include turning of the head, neck, or ...

7. Phi phenomenon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi_phenomenon

   Phi phenomenon. The term phi phenomenon is used in a narrow sense for an apparent motion that is observed if two nearby optical stimuli are presented in alternation with a relatively high frequency. In contrast to beta movement, seen at lower frequencies, the stimuli themselves do not appear to move. Instead, a diffuse, amorphous shadowlike ...

8. Cosmic ray visual phenomena - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_ray_visual_phenomena

   Cosmic ray visual phenomena. Cosmic ray visual phenomena, or light flashes (LF), also known as Astronaut's Eye, are spontaneous flashes of light visually perceived by some astronauts outside the magnetosphere of the Earth, such as during the Apollo program. While LF may be the result of actual photons of visible light being sensed by the retina ...

9. Eye tracking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_tracking

   Scientists track eye movements in glaucoma patients to check vision impairment while driving. Eye tracking is the process of measuring either the point of gaze (where one is looking) or the motion of an eye relative to the head. An eye tracker is a device for measuring eye positions and eye movement. Eye trackers are used in research on the ...
