2. Flicker fusion threshold - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_fusion_threshold

   The phenomenon is caused by a light stimulus in combination with rapid eye movements (saccades) of an observer in a static environment. Similar to the stroboscopic effect, the phantom effect will also occur at similar frequency ranges. The mouse arrow is a common example [21] of the phantom array effect.
