Diffusion Model of Linear Flicker Responses

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Recent cascaded-integrator models do not fit the sine-wave flicker thresholds as well as we might wish, but neither does the Ferry–Porter law. In fact, the Ferry–Porter function is not physically realizable as a linear model. By modifying it to yield realizable responses like those of the cascaded integrator, we obtain a much simpler model, which appears to be a special case of the photochemical diffusion mechanism proposed by Ives and more recently by Veringa. This model is a good fit, not only to the flicker data, but also to human phase-shift measurements obtained by the phosphene method. We infer that receptor-cell properties probably control the high-frequency linear filtering of flicker waveforms.
