temporal vision

Question 1

temporal vision

Answer 1

time-related vision; changes in luminance over time; closely related to motion perception

Question 2

studying temporal vision

Answer 2

studied with temporal sinusoids - stimuli whose luminance varies sinusoidally over time

Question 3

depth of modulation

Answer 3

the visibility of a temporally modulated stimulus is related to its depth of modulation

Question 4

steady depth of modulation

Answer 4

(low modulation depth) smaller amplitude of sine wave of change in luminance

Question 5

flickering depth of modulation

Answer 5

(high modulation depth) larger amplitude of sine wave of change in luminance

Question 6

percentage modulation

Answer 6

amplitude of modulation/time-averaged luminance

Question 7

critical flicker fusion frequency

Answer 7

a temporal frequency is reached at which flicker can no longer be resolved

Question 8

temporal modulation transfer function (TMTF)

Answer 8

relationship of relative temporal sensitivity and temporal threshold

Question 9

1 Hz

Answer 9

1 cycle/second
