Relationship between Critical Flicker-Frequency and a Set of Low-Frequency Characteristics of the Eye

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The results of measurements of the critical flicker frequency of the eye depending on both the average luminance of the test field and the time function of this luminance were recorded by plotting the “ripple ratio” r versus the critical frequency; r is defined as amplitude of first Fourier component/average luminance of the stimulus. It is shown that with constant average luminance the points observed for various time functions fit into one smooth curve which for low luminances is monotonous.

At high luminances the curve shows a minimum for r, which is smaller than the threshold value of the foveal brightness discrimination ratio 1.35 percent, observed for a frequency f = 1 c/s.
