It is known fact that the stabilized retinal image (spatially and temporally) will disappear in seconds[1]. What will happen if we illuminate the spatially stabilized scene (e.g. experiment described in [1], Fig.33) with a flickering light at some frequency? I guess with low frequency the retina will "recognize" the scene as non-stabilized in time and the image perception will not disappear.
So the question is about the cut-off frequency of the flickering light?
I think at certain frequency the retina should recognize it as temporally stable and the image will disappear as normally do when the illuminating light is continuous.
Does anyone know some study on this matter?
