  2. 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 ...

  3. Flicker fusion threshold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_fusion_threshold

    It is a concept studied in vision science, more specifically in the psychophysics of visual perception. A traditional term for "flicker fusion" is "persistence of vision", but this has also been used to describe positive afterimages or motion blur. Although flicker can be detected for many waveforms representing time-variant fluctuations of ...

  4. Newton disc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_disc

    The concept that human visual perception cannot distinguish details of high-speed movements is popularly known as persistence of vision. The disk is named after Isaac Newton . Although he published a circular diagram with segments for the primary colors that he had discovered (i.e. a color wheel ), it is unlikely that he ever used a spinning ...

  5. Eye color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color

    The irises of human eyes exhibit a wide spectrum of colours. Eye color is a polygenic phenotypic trait determined by two factors: the pigmentation of the eye's iris [1] [2] and the frequency-dependence of the scattering of light by the turbid medium in the stroma of the iris. [3]: 9

    Flicker frequency of film and television using persistence of vision to fool viewer into seeing a continuous image; Interlaced television painting half images to give the impression of a higher flicker frequency; Color television (chrominance at half resolution of luminance corresponding to proportions of rods and cones in eye)

    Melanin is the protein that creates skin, eye and hair color. More melanin means darker eyes, hair or skin. The color of the melanin in the eyes is determined by three other genes, EYCL1, 2 and 3 ...

  9. Flicker (screen) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_(screen)

    The human eye is most sensitive to flicker at the edges of the human field of view (peripheral vision) and least sensitive at the center of gaze (the area being focused on). As a result, the greater the portion of our field of view that is occupied by a display, the greater is the need for high refresh rates.
