Abstract
Slowly repeated flashes, to match with steady illumination, need be physically less intense than it, the amt. depending on the repetition rate, and the light-dark ratio of the cycle. The repetitive rate at which this effect reaches its maximum regardless of light-dark ratio is in the region of 8-10 flashes per sec. This may depend somewhat upon the observer, but is of the order of the [alpha] rhythm, and evidence is presented which suggests a connection.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
