The speed at which we perceive the world is known as “temporal resolution”. In many ways, it is similar to the refresh rate of a computer monitor.
Scientists from the Department of Zoology in the Faculty of Natural Sciences and the Institute of Neurosciences at Trinity College have discovered significant differences in temporal resolution between individuals. This means that some can see more “images per second” than others.
Thus, some of the experiment participants reported perceiving the flickering light as completely still. In fact, this light was flashing rapidly, approximately 35 times per second. Some people could see their eyes blinking at a rate of more than 60 times per second.
