Components in flicker detection

This study was conducted to see if slow test presentations of 1 Hz was detected by the chromatic system and higher rates of flicker of 25 Hz, 33 Hz and 40 Hz were detected by the pure flicker system at lower and higher background luminances. Spectral sensitivity measurements were carried out using a...
