The Effect of Background Illumination on the Critical Flicker Frequency of the Peripheral Retina
Abstract
The question of the effect of background illumination on peripheral critical flicker frequency (CFF) is necessarily re- lated to many other considerations - the level of adaptation, the effect of collateral stimulation, the size of the test patoh, the range of brightness levels, etc. These areas are important not only in themselves but in the effects of their interactions as well. Even such a basic question as whether the fovea or the periphery gives higher CFF readings requires a qualified answer.
