Abstract
The threshold gradient for perception of a linear change in luminance with time has been measured as a function of the stimulus duration. These data are compared with the “De Lange” curves representing the flicker sensitivity measured with intermittent presentation of the stimulus as a function of the stimulus duration. For this purpose it is necessary to take into account the fact that a linear luminance gradient, being a relatively low-frequency signal, is affected less by the low-pass filter supposedly situated in the visual system than by a sinusoidal signal (flicker) of the same duration.
