The Effect of Defocussing the Image on the Perception of the Temporal Order of Flashing Lights,

Abstract

The temporal interval between flashing lights that is required to perceive non-simultaneity decreases as the refractive error increases from 0 to +2 diopters. The interval then remains constant with further increases to 3 and 4 diopters. The results are discussed in terms of the relative increase of transient to sustained visual channels and of the increase in apparent movement.
