Critical flicker frequency responses in visual cortex

Abstract. Critical flicker frequency (CFF) threshold is defined as the frequency at which a flickering light is indistinguishable from a steady, non-flickering light. CFF is useful for assessing the temporal characteristics of the visual system. While CFF responses are believed to reflect activity in the central visual system, little is known about how these temporal frequencies are processed in the visual cortex. The current paper estimated …
