Subjective frequency in flicker perception

T Fukuda

    Perceptual and Motor Skills
    |August 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    The perceived flicker rate closely matches actual flicker frequency for small targets but is lower for large targets. Visual perception of flicker rate, whether central or peripheral, does not exceed 10 Hz.

    Area of Science:

    • Visual perception
    • Auditory perception
    • Psychophysics

    Background:

    • The relationship between actual and perceived flicker rates is not fully understood.
    • Subjective perception of visual stimuli can be influenced by various factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the discrepancy between actual and perceived flicker frequencies.
    • To quantify the subjective rate of visual flicker by comparing it to auditory flutter.

    Main Methods:

    • Used sinusoidal wave forms for both visual flicker and auditory flutter stimuli.
    • Employed a frequency-modulated pure tone as the auditory reference stimulus.
    • Matched the perceived rate of visual flicker with the auditory flutter stimulus.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Perceived flicker rate increases with presented frequency for small targets.
    • Perceived flicker rate is lower than actual flicker rate for large targets.
    • Perceived flicker rate is capped at approximately 10 Hz, irrespective of flicker frequency, luminance, or retinal location (fovea/periphery).

    Conclusions:

    • Target size significantly impacts the perceived flicker rate relative to the actual rate.
    • A maximum perceived flicker rate of around 10 Hz exists, independent of stimulus parameters or retinal eccentricity.
