The flicker fusion frequency of the blue-sensitive mechanism of colour vision

G. S. Brindley, J. J. Du Croz and W. A. H. Rushton

1. The flicker fusion frequency for blue stimuli on zero background increases steadily with increasing luminance up to 50 c/s, but if a strong yellow background is added it increases steadily only to about 18 c/s, and then remains nearly independent of luminance over a range of a factor of 20.

2. It is argued that the maximum flicker fusion frequency is about three times lower for the blue-sensitive mechanism of colour vision than for the red- or green-sensitive.
