Description
How fast can you see?
The human eye is limited in its ability to observe the separation between subsequent flashes when they reach a critical threshold -- a phenomena known as Flicker Fusion. Interestingly, this threshold varies between people and is dependent on a variety of factors that will be discussed during this lecture.
In the first part of the lecture, the general phenomena will be explained from a biological perspective with exploration on the implications for the way the world around us is built. In the second half of the lecture, teams that have participated in the associated workshop will present their work and the results of their experimentation with this effect.
