Critical flicker detection frequency and double pulse recognition threshold do not depend on the spectral properties of stimuli

摘要

We have measured the critical flicker detection frequency (CFDF) and double pulse recognition threshold (DPT) using three LEDs with power peaks at 460, 525 and 625 nm for target illumination. Brightness equalization was performed by customized heterochromatic flicker photometry (cHFP). Reference luminance levels were 170 cd/m~2 (blue LED, 60 subjects), 4 cd/m~2 (green LED, 20 subjects), and 1 cd/m~2 (green LED, 20 subjects). The measurement at 1 cd/m~2 was preceded by 15 min of dark adaptation. The angle of view for the target was 3°, and the duration of stimuli was 1 ms. An experimental pulse generator with three channels and a projector was used. No differences in CFDF at different spectral properties of stimulus were observed at all three levels of luminance. Thus, it is concluded that temporal vision resolution does not depend on the spectral properties of visual stimuli.
