Abstract
Let the light-quanta be absorbed in the retina according to a Poisson process. The present paper derives bounds for the expected waiting time for an occurence of a visual response. These bounds can serve as control limits for a proposed coincidence threshold. An upper bound for the probability that a visual response has not occured in (O,t) is derived and is used to obtain an upper bound for the mean visual threshold.Keywords
