    Even after removing optical artifacts, a minimum flicker persists post-color fusion. This finding contrasts with prior research using sinusoidal stimuli, suggesting flicker perception is pulse-shape dependent.

    Area of Science:

    • Visual perception
    • Photometry
    • Color science

    Background:

    • Flicker photometry is a method to determine luminous efficiency.
    • Previous studies suggested sinusoidal alternation of stimuli eliminates flicker.
    • Investigating residual flicker after color fusion is crucial for understanding visual processing.

    Observation:

    • Residual flicker was observed even when optical artifacts were eliminated during flicker photometry.
    • Stimuli alternated with approximately rectangular pulses produced results contrary to sinusoidal alternation studies.
    • A subsidiary test with a computer-generated cosine wave showed inconsistent flicker perception between observers.

    Findings:

    • A minimum level of flicker persists after color fusion, irrespective of optical artifacts.

  • Rectangular pulse stimuli resulted in residual flicker, unlike previous sinusoidal stimuli findings.
  • Individual differences in flicker perception were noted with cosine wave stimuli.

    • Implications:

    • The persistence of flicker suggests a fundamental aspect of visual processing beyond optical artifacts.
    • Understanding residual flicker is important for accurate luminous efficiency measurements.
    • Further research is needed to explore the role of stimulus waveform and individual variability in flicker perception.
